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.
Not only do they manage to type them, they do it at high speed.
On a somewhat related note, I was watching some show the other day about
students using cell phones to pass around answers to multiple choice tests.
They showed one student who was able to enter the answers to 25-30 questions on
the cell phone she was holding out of sight under her desk. Elapsed time: 10
seconds, maybe. Number of errors: 0.
People really are incredibly good at learning to do stuff like this.
