remove sms unsupported characters

Question

is there any preg or str_replace that can help me remove characters from a string that are not supported on sms in phones. Now accented characters are shown as yy in sms.

Accented characters should be supported by SMS. I can send/receive them with my phone. Are you sure you're not sending them with the wrong character encoding? — halfdan, May 27 '10 at 07:53
If all you want to support is Latin characters (From space (32) to ~ (126)), you can use a regex like `/[^\x{0020}-\x{007E}]/u` — Amarghosh, May 27 '10 at 08:43

You probably want to transliterate those chars.

This will convert an accented ñ to a plain n.

Here is useful further reading on Stack Overflow.
