so the problem occurs because pidgin couldn't recognize some special characters in a QQ group name. Changing the group name in the blist.xml can only fix the problem temporarily because once pidgin starts, it retrieves the group name from server thus modified the xml file automatically which cause it unable to recognize the group name the next time it starts. the solution I think will be to improve the support for special characters in later release.
