It is annoying to see the Linux users send utf-8 characters which we can't read with mIRC, that uses iso8859-1 characters (on my computer at least). Are there any plans to make mIRC support utf-8? Since utf-8 can be quite easily autodetected and easily converted to iso8859-1, it should not be a big problem to add that feature.

Know what? When we will get UTF-8 support? Noone even knows when the next version will be out, so it's unlikely anyone will know what is going to be in it.

I agree with dybdahl on this one, UTF-8 support would be very nice indeed.
