mTCP: A Unicode enabled IRCjr is available for testing (Announce)

There is a detailed readme.txt file in the zip. Here is the short version:

* This version supports UTF-8 encoding and decoding.
* The mapping from Unicode to your local character set is defined in a file. I've included a mapping for CP437.
* Enable it by setting an environment variable.

If it works correctly, you should be able to use Unicode in messages and on channel topics.

If you are not using CP437 or are using a non-US layout keyboard you need to set your codepage and keyboard layout as you usually do, but also create your own mapping file from Unicode to your code page. I'd like to include more mapping files but I wanted to get some early feedback first.

Thanks,
Mike
