Trouble with encoding and Russian symbols

Hello!

 

First, i want to say that your project is great!

It is very easy to install and administrate, and it is full of useful function.

I can say it about entire openfire, and about IM Getway.

 

But there is some issue

I like to speak on Russian, because i am Russian

I will install and setup ICQ transport in my server.

But, i cannot setup correct encoding for Russian(Cirylic) symbols.

If i set encoding to CP1251, i receive correct russian messages from other users. But when i trying to send russian messages, the recipients get the unvalid characters.

If i set encoding to utf-8, i can send messages to other users(and they can read). But i do not RECEIVE russian message from users. Instead of messages i get '?????????'

How can you help me with this problem? What encoding should i set up for my plugin?

I use Psi client, if metter.

 

Thank you for your product,

Andrey Chursin

    It could depend on a client other users are using. I have set windows-1251 encoding for ICQ and i dont have any problems with some users. But there are one user who's messages comes unreadable (but not as ???). Btw, what client do you use?

    Same problem:

     

     

    If I set encoding to windows-1251, i can read what people write, but people cannot se what i write.

     

     

    If I set encoding to utf-8, then people can read what i write, but i cannot see cyrillic symbols.

    Not to open a new discussion, but this is really odd.  Just recently I finally upgraded to 3.5.2 from something ancient i had (i think 3.2 or 3.3).

    I upgraded so i could use latest version of IM-Gateway (the old openfire i had only supported 1.1)

     

    It did work just fine back there, but doesn't work anymore. I have same exact setting as before, windows-1251 set as encoding, and same clients that i am communicating with. But I can not send cyrillic anymore, only receive.

     

    I realize that ICQ is ugly in multilingual area, but i don't understand why it broke all of the sudden. A change in the ICQ client itself?
