No.
The actual 8-bit bytes are string/2. These have to be matched against a maximum
of ~140 octets in an SMS. Remember to use correct coding & charset (read user's
guide) in your sendsms url.

So just length of this string / 4 will count the actual characters ?

I don't know how you make your php script. But if you convert everything to
binary (i.e. hex) just read off the bytes.
PS: There is no ASCII value for hindi chars!

So just counting the chars in my incoming hindi text * 2 will get the
number characters for sending sms?
Im doing the conversion like this in php.
1. get the numeric ascii value of the letter
2. convert it to hex and add a percent (%)

Hi,
Each unicode character counts as 2 regular chars. That is, unicode
chars above the regular ASCII (hindu chars for example).

Hello Group,
How do we count SMS units for a unicode message?
Suppose I want to submit Hindi Messages from a PHP script, how do I
calculate the number for characters and units consumed?
