 I've noticed some problems with cyrillic when using pidgin, and before
 that gaim.

 1. Status messages in cyrillic (UTF-8) do not appear correctly in the
 contact list - it seems they are interpreted as 1 byte character, not as
 utf-8 that they are really. Happens in WinXP pro sp2 (official pidgin
 build), Linux (NLD9/Suse 9.1) (pidgin compiled from source). Seen on icq
 protocol. Not verified on others. You may see screenshots from winxp at
 http://hristo.todorov.googlepages.com/pidgin-probl.zip or in the
 attachment. QIP and ICQ6 both represent them correctly.

 2. Offline messages in cyrillic (UTF-8), icq protocol again, do not show
 correctly. They are correctly identified as 2byte character but showed
 with "?" - question mark for a character instead of the actual character.
 Otherwise cyrillic works fine. A log file with such offline message is in
 the archive above. No other cyrillic texts in it though. This one is taken
 under linux, but same happens on windows.

 I am avalable for any tests required.
