Forums Bug Reports UTF-8 Nickname display truncated?

The_JD
The point that I am trying to establish is the fact that mIRC is not taking into account that UTF-8 nicknames in WIDE UNICODE would be the valid length but exceed the normal bytes that a normal ascii name would have. I already know that Vincula and many other scripts used hash tables to back reference channels and nicknames but this causes performance hits and invalid display. I am trying state that the bytes for channel names and nicknames be extended as Chuck said in his post above.


P.S. Try reading the original RFC. It states: "Each client is distinguished from other clients by a unique nickname having a maximum length of nine (9) characters." IE the nickname length that was extended long before the IRCx draft was published.
