see https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/1180

there is a patch available for this that needs to be applied to irssi for focal

from GitHub issue:

"A change in GLib 2.63 broke some assumptions in Irssi that the null-byte NUL / U+0000 is a valid Unicode character. This would occur when the user types Ctrl+Space. As a result, the input loop never manages to process the NUL-byte (and any other user input that follows, ever).

This affects all versions of Irssi as soon as your system is updated to this GLib version."
