Protocol Specific Questions

@@ -96 +96 @@
 IRC has no comprehension of character sets or encodings.  It simply sends (almost) any random chunk of data a user enters.  Pidgin by default assumes everything is UTF-8.  If this is not the case, you will need to edit your account (Accounts->''your IRC account''->Edit Account) and change the Encoding setting on the Advanced tab.  You will need to enter the correct encoding for your channels there.  You can specify multiple encodings in a comma-delimited list, such as `UTF-8,ISO-8859-15`, to cause Pidgin to attempt multiple encodings.  In this case, each encoding is tried in succession until a successful decode happens or all encodings listed are exhausted.
