On my Nokia I am forced to write SMS messages in Irish with graves for ÀàÌìÒòÙù but I am awarded Éé. The Nokia does have ÁáÍíÓóÚú available for spelling names in the phone book, but the accents are stripped off if they are sent in a text message. :-( -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
