  51 Well, if you read the RFC
  52
  53
  54 Because of IRC's scandanavian origin, the characters {}| are considered to
  55 be the lower case equivalents of the characters []\, respectively. This is
  56 a critical issue when determining the equivalence of two nicknames.
  57
  58
  59 So the original ircd considered {}|[]\ to be &quot;letters&quot;. I believe they're
  60 slash-o, ae, and something else (sts would know).
