Tewl,
The UTF-8 setup in mIRC does not fix the nick length issue.
AFAIK the only way to do this would to be to create references to the full nickname, as seen in Vincula etc.
I don't believe this is a problem in mIRC's UTF-8 support, but in its maximum nicklength.
Other posters: This is still a common nickname length. The IRCX draft extended the nickname length somewhat.
Now with a bunch of MSN Clones made to be like "MSN Chat"-(RIP), the unexperienced developers do not think about things such as nick lengths.
Regards,
JD
Edit: IRCX also allows most charachters in nicknames...
