would anyone have a text please, showing how to make the new symbols we can use in our popups, like the hearts etc?

hmph, on window click Start, then click run (XP or older) or for Vista in the box type charmap or alternative from mIRC type /run charmap then in the FONT: drop down click on it and go all the way down to webdings or wingdings then select whichever character you want. then copy over as long your mIRC recongnizes the font.

(Im not 100% if the font can be carried over like that but thats how I get my fonts)

If you mean something else then please elaborate.

thank you very much,dern vista wont let us see the correct symbols:)

There's an explanation of how to get symbols using Unicode here.

It's absolutely vital that you don't select Webdings or Wingdings or any other symbol-only font in the Character Map because the font information itself is not transferred when you copy characters or when they're sent over IRC. So what looks like a heart in Webdings will appear as an ordinary letter or number to everyone else on IRC.
