In that case, you're probably running into an character set/encoding 
problem.

tl;dr: C# makes encodes the letters into a different kind of bytes than 
gammu/your phone expects.

For more information on character sets, see Spolsky's "The Absolute 
Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About 
Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)" 
(http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html)

To put values into your environment variables (which are probably what 
you mean when you say "shell variables"), use the System.Environment 
class. See the stackoverflow question: 
http://stackoverflow.com/q/185208/4918 and the MSDN documentation: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z8te35sa.aspx

To encode strings to bytes, use one of the implementations of 
System.Text.Encoding. See the MSDN documentation: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx
