How can I write text messages with diacritic marks?

To type text messages with letters from the Latvian alphabet, you have to activate character encoding (Unicode) on your phone that is available in most modern telephones. 

Usually, it is automatically activated as soon as you choose the Latvian language in the settings of your phone or text message. If it was not done automatically, please check your phone’s instructions for use. 

Please note!
If you use the Latvian letters to type a text message, its length cannot exceed 70 characters. Of course, you can also send a longer linked message that consists of several parts. In two text messages you can include 70 characters + 63 characters, but in three text messages – 70 characters + 63 characters + 68 characters. When you send linked messages, each of them is charged separately according to your tariff plan.
