unicode or not, dsirc is a fairly decent, easy to setup irc client. for tho=
se who
don't want to type in the same window they receive messages in, here is a s=
olution
(note that it works mostly for single-channel sessions, which is what i nor=
mally do):

% cat $home/bin/rc/irc
#!/bin/rc
# start a new window for dsirc
# text, accept irc input in the
# current window

bind '#|' /tmp
window -m dsirc < /tmp/data
cat > /tmp/data1
%

this works reasonably well for me, but on the other hand my irc needs are n=
ot that
complicated :)
