I confirm this bug. Pidgin users have trouble seeing áàãõ....
xchat and irssi have no such problem.
** Summary changed:
- pidgin sets wrong encoding, and doenst see xchat encoding
+ Pidgin default encoding should be Latin/Unicode Hybrid
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: xchat
+ Binary package hint: pidgin
- For LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 xchat sets IRC (Latin/Unicode Hybrid) encoding
- instead of UTF-8, making IRC on freenode very ba for other users
+ Pidgin default encoding for IRC is UTF-8. It should be using CP1252 with
+ UTF-8 auto-detection like xchat.
