Thanks for digging up into that! Good job :)

Can the official client have different encoding set? Like UTF-8? Because as
much as I'd like to change our default encoding to Latin1, I'm afraid this
might get broken for other users with different clients who use characters not
present in Latin1 (which is eastern europe, so does not cover for example
central europe's characters, not mentioning some unicode stuff). UTF-8 should
always be the safest bet.

Also it's almost unbelieveable that in 2012 the official ICQ client (is there
still such thing?) is still not using UTF-8, but rather a limited Latin1 by
default (that's why I personally dislike that protocol very much).

Can you link the libpurple bug report so we can track it? Thanks!
