 CP1251. I've captured some packages and found offline message encoded as
 CP1251. There is maybe some related problem: I've tried encoding
 UTF-8,CP1251 but it doesn't work. It's strange since UTF-8 can be easily
 recognized. It seems if the UTF-8 codec can't decode some character it's
 just replaced by "?" which is wrong behavior.

 Ugh, if ICQ doesn't support fallback encodings then there is nothing to
 do. :-) I thought if UTF-8 can't be properly decoded the decoder should
 skip to the next available codec since UTF-8 can be differentiated from
 other encodings.
