I don't know if this is applicable, but on some phones you can set text to
unicode or something else - I imagine it to be alphanumeric ATI or
something.

How old is your phone? Text messages should usually always be readable,
unless someone's playing with your plonker.

This sounds pretty similar to your issue:

Certainly a Nokia SmartSMS message (such as a ring tone or graphic) would
produce this message. Just for fun, I sent a graphic to a Motorola L7089 and
it produced a message almost identical to the one you got.
