the fact is that this display has ':' and '.' between characters so it is difficult to handle them as other single characters, the message length is seven characters but if you use ':' or '.' you can have them between every two characters so the total characters displayed if 7+6(one between each two characters)...this is not easy to handle...since there are special commands to lit these special characters, they are used as single icons and not with text message command
