It's unknown to me if using Cyrillic characters in IRC nicknames. Do you know of any client and/or server that allows it? BitlBee has to respect the IRC standard, for as much as one exists...

Yes, there's a lot of them. For example: - irc.tambov.ru:7770 (UTF-8 encoding), the RusNet network (~10000 users) - irc.corbina.ru:6667 (windows-1251 encoding) - DalNet.RU (~2000 users) etc. As for the encodings, UTF-8 (and not any of the legacy ones) should be preferred.
