Hi Alex, Unfortunately the version of GTK we use on Windows versions of Pidgin isn't new enough to support emoji characters. As a workaround you can use one of the unicode emoji emote themes, eg https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji or https://github.com/VxJasonxV/emoji-for-pidgin Cheers, Eion

Hi there, @ isn't a valid character for an XMPP username so it needs to be escaped as you've found. The escaping for it is going to be very specific to each XMPP server. I've seen it being escaped as either \40 or %40 Cheers, Eion On 25/03/2017 01:01, "Swetha Raj" wrote:

Hi there, It looks like you're a Windows user so unfortunately Constantine's advice probably won't help in this instance. You might want to look at the 'Message Notification' plugin in Tools->Plugins, and make sure you dont have the 'raise conversation window' or 'present conversation window'
