RE: B appearing
So let me get this straight...
You see the letter 'B' is your nickname and your contacts nicknames, who have letters like '€'.

Do your contacts see the letter 'B' in their nicknames or your nickname?

What version of Messenger do you have, and what version of Plus! Live do you have?

Have you tried reinstalling Windows Live Messenger?

Please explain in detail.

RE: B appearing
It's becasue the font you are using doesn't have a glyph for that character. You'll notice that it does show in other places, where a different font is used. The only way to fix it is to use a font that does have a glyph for that character (if you do that, you might not have the same problem with some other character), or use not use special symbols.

I've noticed that I get this more in Messenger than anywhere else, I don't know it it's because Messenger doesn't handle the extend characters well, or just because people on my list use crazy Display Names and I just don't encounter those characters in any other program.

PS
Use thumbnail images!

Messenger handles them fine: it's purely down to if the fonts installed have that character as part of it.
