  37 <PRE>Hello, IRC.
  38
  39 &gt;<i>      There have been a couple of requests for Services to handle nicknames
  40 </I>&gt;<i> and channel names in non-English (non-ASCII) character sets.  However, I
  41 </I>&gt;<i> went and took a look at a couple of IRC servers (Unreal, Hybrid) that are
  42 </I>&gt;<i> supposed to have multiple charset support, and both seem to handle case
  43 </I>&gt;<i> translation (upper/lower case) the same way as other IRC servers do.
  44 </I>&gt;<i> (I also saw that hybrid-ru does case translation of non-ASCII characters,
  45 </I>&gt;<i> but as it's not a general algorithm it's better dealt with by a separate
  46 </I>&gt;<i> protocol module, which I'll look into separately if there's a need for it.)
  47 </I>
  48 &gt;<i>     Is there anyone who uses non-ASCII character sets with Services, and
  49 </I>&gt;<i>if so, what problems (if any) have you had that are not ircd-related?
  50 </I>
  51 I'm using ircd-ru (bahamut clone).
  52 Here are the main features I'm configured:
  53
  54  - DISALLOWED using nicknames that contains latin alphabet characters as
  55    well as national alphabet ones withing the server
  56
  57  - DISALLOWED using nicknames that have words which contains latin alphabet
  58    characters as well as national alphabet ones withing the server
  59
  60  - DISABLED hashing and comparison of non-ASCII nicknames and channel names using base
  61    codepage specific lower and upper tables (case insensitive)
  62
