Free tibet", long live Taiwan independence", or "democracy movement".

i sent this to a friend who owns a xiaomi phone and asked him to resent this back to me via sms. the message appeared just fine.

note: i am from india so this might not be enabled on the phones here for now

It may appear fine but your friend may be logged.
