in fact it should be
nickname%{playing}(busy) (in fact what you should see is nickname (playing) with the icon of busy)
where % is a "special" space. It isn't the usual space, it's the Alt + 0160 space. This space -> <-
IMO, that may not be a problem with plus, because plus just changes that nick. The problem may come from messenger, who it's unable to interpret it correctly and it shows the Unicode (or MCBS) character that has the code 0160 and the code of { . In this case, this thread shouldn't be in BR.
In any case (the problem comes from messenger or it comes from plus) you can't do anything. lonelycent: do you know if other people with the same version of Windows and Messenger have the same problem? When you have that problem , do other contacts see the chinesse character or do they see it correctly?
