I like it the way it is (not being able to copy a single character with just the highlight and release method), however hitting ctrl+c to do so could be quite useful for non english languages, utf-8, etc. (a single visual character in some languages is actually several physical characters on an english based keyboard)

Mulvarp, your post made almost no sense, you all but contradict yourself. And a charactor map can easily be found in your start menu under /accesseries/system tools/ or equivelent. I see no reason or advantage to integrating one into mirc (even most word processors dont do such a thing, with the exception of a few that are designed for ascii art)
