Forums Feature Suggestions UTF-8

I'd like to sugest that uft-8 encoding would be used by mIRC.

Use the search feature, this has been suggested numerous times.

i used it, and cant find any matches...
[i used it before posting too]

Expand the date range. There are many, many posts.

Make sure you set it to "all forums" and "all posts" in the date range. You get a bunch of results for UTF-8, however the only one that is important is https://forums.mirc.com/showflat.php?Cat=...=true#Post10683 since Khaled states in that post that it is on the todo list already.

Join the club.

I think the preliminary answer is that it will be used once Windows implements it, and perhaps not sooner.

mIRC in itself can use most encodings Windows throws at it, but it can't convert between them in the way that X-Chat does. Why Peter Zelezny chose to implement this in X-Chat is not known (or _I_ don't know), but it sure is a nice feature that is perhaps implementable in mIRC as well.

Before you run off and try X-Chat, there's actually an error with the libraries X-Chat uses that causes it to refuse all non-ascii chars under certain conditions, so wait for a more stable version.

Are you by any chance in the development team or in some other way employed by or involved with X-Chat and/or it's affiliates? I don't remember a single post when you haven't dropped that name at least once.

Nope, I just use X-Chat, that's all, and as you probably noticed I'm not recommending it over mIRC.

I think the development of mIRC is potentially more interesting, though, because it's so widely used. It's like the Internet Explorer of IRC, if you will.
