Revelations

Somehow I missed this one: mIRC version 6.17 was released back in February which adds the long-awaited UTF-8 support, finally bringing it up to date with other clients such as XChat and irssi. Yay!

After upgrading, some settings need to be changed to actually enable the UTF-8 support. A post on the mIRC Message Board details the changes required.

Of course, those still using version 6.16 or earlier will see gibberish when any non-ASCII characters are used, so I'd highly recommend upgrading.
