My friend was messing around with the new mIRC 6.17, but when he enabled UTF-8 support specialcharacters (like æøå) would display with characters like æÃ,Ã¥. We checked a lot of options, but eventually narowed it down to his timestamp. His timestamp format was as follows:

Code:
2[12HH2·12nn2·12ss2]


(I hope the special colourcode chars show up, if not it was like this:

STX ETX 2 [STX ETX 12 US HH US ETX2· ETX12USnnETX2US · ETX12US ss US ETX2STX]

)

This was replicable on my install of mIRC 6.17.

Fix:

Don't use colourcodes in your timestamp if you use UTF-8.

[Edit]

Seems like it was the special char "·" that screwed things up and NOT the colour codes. My bad.
