Subject: [JDEV] Support to Spanish Characters

Jabber uses unicode to represent all characters, so supporting other
languages is just a matter of being able to display those characters. The
traffic is sent between the client and server as UTF-8, which is a variable
length multi-byte encoding. For US7ASCII characters, characters are sent
unmodified to the server and back. For characters beyond this (e.g. "�"),
extra characters are used (this particular one would be represented using
two characters) . So the garbage may actually be these multi-byte
characters, not being handled correctly by the client.
