Comment (by jeff):

 Need to find out the character encoding that MySpaceIM uses. U+0092 is
 PRIVATE USE TWO in Unicode and 8859-2. In Windows-1250 it is a Right
 Single Quotation Mark. There is a 1250 to Unicode mapping here:
 http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WindowsBestFit/bestfit1250.txt

 Interesting that there is a standard quote besides the 0x92. I wonder why
 this is happening. If there always is a ASCII ' character by the 0x92,
 stripping the 0x92 would be fine, but it probably conveys useful
 information. I'd rather strip the ASCII ' and use the Unicode equivalent
 of 0x92, if possible.
