First let’s talk about what composes words: due to a notable inefficiency to transmit complex sounds over what are often digital interfaces to the phone network, the speakers instead use DTMF signaling as a suport for their comunication. You can see here a table summarising the various tones available.

Those are fully qualified phone numbers, including country prefixes, but no national escape. For example if sending a message to someone in britain, you would just use 44 as a national prefix.

The EBCDIC 803 Code page is a codepage that was (and sadly still is) used by IBM mainframes in Israel. It supports the Hebrew writing system, Uppercase (but not lowercase, and no diacritics) Latin letters, numbers, and a bunch of punctuation. In practice that means that many strings, despite lacking any special characters are encoded in expanded unicode notation for the only reason that they have lowercase letters.
