Forums Bug Reports utf-8 nicknames problem

confirmed on two other of my computers, but not on a third one.
All are WinXP SP2, with latest mIRC 6.3
The only difference I can think of, and related, is that the non-working ones have "Japanese" as the default locale for non-unicode problems, whereas the working one is "English (United States)" for that setting.

I have just tried switching one of the "Japanese" locale computer to "English", and bingo, it worked!

So this problem is locale related, and occurs at least with "Japanese" locale.


Another note: the default nick configuration dialogue in otpions does not like utf-8, at least not on both systems where I had /nick'ed to utf8, and where it became all viewed as the locale rather than utf8.
