I have a question... Is there a way to use "ç" without "using" a lot of the 160 characters?

In my N96 and N81 i just needed to disable something in the options like "extended Characters" and then, i could put accents and using only 1 character for it.

In the N900 the "ç" is only a problem if it's not the first character of the SMS (it's weird). Using "ç" in a word will use 90 characters!
