Steps to reproduce:

I posted the following message in a XMPP-chatroom (hosted by my university):

[ 2374.798210] usb 3-2: Product: USB Flash Ͱisk 쀠 
[ 2374.798213] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: >?neral 䀠8 뀠.

Here is the base64 encoding, just to be sure:

ICAgICAgICAg5ICgOCAgICDrgKAuIAo=

(This is the dmesg output from a defective USB-drive, if you are curious)

Actual results:

My account got disconnected, the message was not send. The others see the following message: "... has left the room: Disconnected: not-well-formed"

Expected results:

The message should be delivered as normal :)

This sounds like an escaping issue of some sort or another. :( I was unable to reproduce this (on 76b2). Definitely too late now, but if you're still able to reproduce it then on the account if you right click and choose "Copy debug log" that could be useful.

I also can't reproduce it anymore. Seems to be fixed.

Thanks for trying! Maybe it was a server issue? If you see something again please reopen (and I'll try to get back faster this time!)
