On our IRC channel there's a relay between it and the Discord server. When someone types a message in IRC it shows up in Discord. and vice versa.; But only in weechat via Windows Terminal does it display a space between the first two letters of the sender's name. I'm connected to a bouncer and have tried weechat with wsltty (which appears to be a fork or continuation of mintty) and the spaces don't appear. The space also doesn't appear in graphical clients either, like Hexchat, or in terminals on a Linux based OS connected to the same bouncer instance..

I'm going to investigate more if it some sort of highlight protection on the part of the bouncer, but as of press time the bot owner hasn't replied.
