#829: ICQ buddy info character encoding problem
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  schoen        |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.0   
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 In the buddy info window, whenever an ICQ contact’s first or last name
 contains a non-UTF-8 character (e.g. an ISO-8859-1 encoded German letter
 'ö'), the name is not being displayed. This has been happening since
 2.0.0beta6. If the contact’s name is encoded in UTF-8, then it is
 displayed correctly in Pidgin, but is broken in most other ICQ clients,
 displaying `ö' instead of `ö'.
