Yes, I know that mIRC now has full unicode support. But the fact does not explain why it cannot display national characters when started under cp1251 locale. 6.35 works just fine.

Example screens:

wrong (7.x)
correct (6.35)

Many so-called "full unicode apps" work fine with cp1251 here, why mIRC can't? The problem is that many IRC-server here, in russia, has issues with implementing UTF-8 suppport on IRCd-side, so far only few small networks support it in some way.

Many conditions makes migration impossible or too complicated.
