I recently got all of this working thanks to: http://docs.perl6.org/language/unicode_entry and settings in my terminal (osx) advanced -> text encoding -> utf-8 my lang: ~ $ echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 (that's local and remote after ssh) in screenrc: defutf8 on utf8 on /SET term_charset utf-8 in irssi start screen with -U and now I can finally use perl6 characters in irc. «like this»
