Sanitize message content to stay GSM compliant #103

There is a Twilio doc that mentions GSM encoded messages are restricted to a limited set of characters. Ensuring our messages are GSM encoded is ideal because it prevents message segmenting as mentioned in #51

We should implement some message content sanitation to convert certain characters where possible!

There's a tool to see if a message will be GSM compliant or not!
