I tried to publish Unicode Hindi content in my ibibo blog post. I used Reliance India Mobile CDMA service and a basic LG mobile phone which had inbuilt Hindi SMS support. The result appears as ??????? which you can see :

It means, the Unicode encoding had been broken somewhere while in communication. Ibibo not only does support Unicode Indic languages but it provide online keyboard for these languages too. I had submitted my bug report there. Let us see when we will be able to post our blog through our mobile in our own language (read Unicode). Posting blogs in English are error free and fun. If you neglect the problem of writing long blogs through tiny mobile keys, then Mobile blogging is all set to rock. If you have smart phones that does support Handwriting recognition, and you can write through digital pencil, then you can imagine the scenario. The age of mobile blogging will come sooner than one can imagine. Photo-blogging through mobile phones having good inbuilt camera can revolutionize the way world blog!
