Okay, I edited out much of the middle chars, and here is the result after select the chars and then pasting them into mIRC... BUT the thing is when I paste inside of mIRC the corruption does not occur... it looks correct on the screen and seems correct here:

F0 9F 8D 86 63 32 32 65 F0 9F 8D 86

Oh wait, now I can't get it to reproduce any more... what the heck?

The only change was your debugging statement... could that have changed the state of something?
