Does IRC support internationalized (UTF-8) room names?
How? A pointer to documentation or a spec would be welcome.
According to RFCs 1459 and 2812, channel names can be made up of any bytes other than \x00 (NUL), \x07 (BELL), \x0A (LF), \x0D (CR), \x20 (space),
,and:. How those bytes are interpreted is entirely up to the client. IRC doesn’t impose any specific restrictions on the encoding.
