I finally got a SIP UA that supports Unicode, so I thought I would post a response in-case anyone else runs in to this in the future.

The message text 测试 (Chinese for "test" – Unicode 6d4b 8bd5) is UTF-8 encoded by the UA and sent as follows:

MESSAGE sip:7502@sip.siplabs.net SIP/2.0

Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.10.0.25:5060;branch=z9hG4bK1024948794;rport

From: "7052" <sip:7502@sip.siplabs.net>;tag=1533348184

To: <sip:7501@sip.siplabs.net>

Call-ID: 2106928112@10.10.0.25

CSeq: 6006 MESSAGE

Max-Forwards: 10
