I confirm this bug. Incorrect encoding happens in buddy aliases in ICQ (oscar).
All russian-speaking users set one-byte-encoding of oscar to cp1251 for compatibility reasons. And broken encoding looks exactly like UTF-8 string treated as cp1251 and converted to UTF-8. -- GAIM: incorrect character encoding in contact list https://launchpad.net/bugs/79383 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
