IM'ing in Cyrillic

[Richard Robin]

I wonder if SEELANGS Russian Macintosh users would mind sharing their
experiences IM'ing users in Russia or Windows users in the U.S.?
Specifically...

1.  Have Mac users successfully used Cyrillic in ICQ?

2.  Have Mac users experienced success in using non-ICQ IMing (e.g.
AIM) to others using the same IM program (but in Windows)?

3.  Have any Mac users gotten their Cyrillic to cross over to Windows
AND a different IM program (e.g. AIM => ICQ, ICQ => Yahoo, etc.) N.B.
By default configuration in Windows, AIM => ICQ Cyrillic does not
work, even though both are now owned by AOL. But AIM=>AIM works, and
ICQ => ICQ works.
Any pertinent information would be useful. I'll risk and suggest that
this might be interesting to others on the list. But off-list
communication is fine too.

Thanks,
Rich Robin
