Well you can but not to kick people.
First because those text-only sigs have been removed (i think, havent checked though) and second if pb scans for the ascii code of "Helios" it will find it when you just type "Helios". No need to convert anything.

But when someone says PB scans for "00 01 02 10 22" this means it looks for 5 bytes with hexadecimal values of 00, 01, 02, 10, 22.
Most of these values cannot be easily sent as text, because certain values have special meanings depending on the environment, and will be removed or saved differently or whatever.
Actually I haven't tried that though, it may just work as well, but i dont think you can send non printable ascii chars over msn or irc.

test it by copying this:
