i'm just saying that mIRC should be compatible as it was in all versions before this mess started.
The mIRC 7 beta is specifically *not* meant to be compatible with non-unicode data. This is why Khaled put out a beta, so people could test and get accustomed to the new behaviour before the new version is released. mIRC7 will not be compatible with 6.35 with regards to handling of Unicode, and, for the last time, the behaviour of $utfencode is
undefined in mIRC7, so it should not be used. For all intents and purposes, $utf* identifiers do not "exist" in 7.
Please read the explicit disclaimer about codepage support on the beta page:
