SMS's for some languages are indeed in unicode, often one message is sent in a
multipart message - i.e. - in more than one message. Even in various Nordic
languages that have strange things like ä, ö, å ... SMS's are sent in unicode.
Some cell phones sport pen input, but also support Asian text input via a
stroke system via the normal digit keypad.

"text" (see below for an explanation of the scare quotes)
is unthinkable. That device is a cell phone.
Note that the SMS service is popular in Asia too - and there, the
characters sent are definitely not ASCII.
No, I have no idea how they type them - but they do.
