 > If qip displays 0x00BF as (ї), then it's a qip problem, because it
 surely isn't in the utf-16 standard. Moreover qip must be doing something
 additionally to replace the characters it recieves.

 It's just my interpretation of what happened and why win shows normally
 messages in Cyrillic from qip. I understand a lot of things in linux/unix
 world(now I'm porting mono), so I don't want to speak about some
 realization things. I found why this happen and how we can fix it. If I
 have only free time to do it by myself. Also, I know that it is a qip bug
 and I dislike this client and ask my friends to use other clients or
 protocols, but this can't solve a problem for now.
 Some users have this problem with pidgin/qip (I already so other slavonic
 users), but for example kopte/qip doesn't have such a problem. I'm a
 GNOME/GTK+ user so I prefer pidgin, but some small bugs .

 PS: Also I have a problem with Cyrillic letters in authorization request.
