Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Also, can you please report what version of Ubuntu you are using?

[Alex Nikolaenko (ceekay80)]

- Yes, its reproducible. I try both linux and wendows version of pidgin.
- send to someone message like this: hello &#x4! how are you?
- Ubuntu 7.10, pidgin 2.4.1 for linux and 2.3.1 for wendows

[Patrick Kilgore (patrick-kilgore)]

I am able to see these characters just fine in Ubuntu 8.04 with Pidgin 2.4.1 with the AIM protocol. Which message protocol do you see this behavior.

[Alex Nikolaenko (ceekay80)]

ICQ protocol

[Patrick Kilgore (patrick-kilgore)]

Yep this is confirmed in the ICQ protocol in pidgin. My "test" may not be the best because ICQ isn't supposed to allow you to message yourself, but I think it's more telling that pidgin is allowing me to do this, but then not allowing me when I use those characters.

I'd appreciate it if someone with another ICQ client would confirm this behavior, to make sure it isn't on ICQ's end.
