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.
