You went from event identifiers to emoticons? Pick one suggestion and stick to it. PS. This is the easy way to do what you want

As for your original topic- event specific identifiers are meaningless within a socket.. you're basically asking that mirc not only DETECT a socket connection made to an IRC protocol, but interact with it in some manner that would defeat the entire purpose of using low level sockets. Simply put, if you want event identifiers, use events.

Of course you don't even need to make any socket connection to write the script you just proposed.. just script the ON TEXT event and route it to a picwin. I'm not sure why you think sockets are necessary, here..
