It seems that, when I have Unicode characters in my nick, mIRC sometimes has problems displaying it - but only when I use certain aliases.

This works:
/shrug /say Hello there

This does not work:
/shrug /say ¯\(°_o)/¯

However, simply saying "¯\(°_o)/¯" works fine.

To illustrate the difference:

It should be: [01:21:18] <G&#1161;-Flex> ¯\(°_o)/¯
It is: [01:17:36] <GÒ‰-Flex> ¯\(°_o)/¯

(in the first example, the second char in the nick is a combining diacritic so it might not display properly in the browser anyway. At any rate, it shouldn't be a capital "O" with an accent followed by the percentage sign, that's for sure)


As a side-note, the combining diacritic also doesn't display properly in channel/chat buttons (the character is displayed, but in sequence with the others instead of combining), but that's obviously a lesser issue.


EDIT: The combining diacritic isn't really combining in this post either (at least not on my browser), but you get the point.
