Comment:

 It looks to me like you're using an ICQ transport on XMPP.  This means
 that Trillian is not necessarily the problem here.

 There is clearly an `�` (NULL) in the text sent by the transport.  That
 character, along with all other ASCII control characters and some others,
 are explicitly prohibited from being sent over XMPP.  As I recall, the RFC
 for XMPP states that a client MUST disconnect if it receives such
 characters and a server must disconnect the client sending such characters
 if it receives such characters from a client.  This is a bug in both the
 transport software and whatever server software is in use.
