After putting :channels (:after-auth "#cafè") in my config, circe would connect to #cafè instead. Using the /join command manually works fine.

Seems to be an encoding issue. A similar problem has been found with passwords containing accented characters.

So what most likely happens:

  • Channel name is interpreted as UTF-8 encoded string (five codepoints, with è being one)
  • Connection to network is established, with the server supporting the latin1 encoding
  • UTF-8 encoded string is interpreted as latin1 (six characters, with è being turned into è)

What would need to happen instead is some sort of recoding.
