Alphabet and message length
Texts in Latvian stay at 160 characters per segment until they use ā, č, ē, ģ, ī, ķ, ļ, ņ, š, ū and ž. Those letters are not in GSM-7, so the message becomes Unicode with 70 characters per segment (67 per part). Short reminders written without them stay in one segment, and the composer names each letter that changed the count.
Main languages: Latvian.
