[PATCH] Support of UCS2 for SMS/USSD

I can add some kind of global var which will indicate UTF-8 support
and init it when app starting with code above (or other code if will
find better one). Then use it in case of SMS/USSD receving.

I asked some time ago, but there was no answer.. setlocale function
with NULL argument always returns "C" - Minimal "C" locale - if locale
was not changed before, with arguments rather than NULL - changes the
locale.

Thanks,
