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.
