I am wondering if it's possible to output unicode entities from the server, such as ░▒▓♪♫, and have MUSHClient convert them properly to their unicode characters?

It doesn't handle it natively as there is a check that the number does not exceed 255.

However if you install this plugin, it converts the entities to UTF8 sequences, and provided you have Unicode checked in your output window configuration, it should work. The ones you gave seemed to work for me.

Save between the lines as Convert_UTF8_Entities.xml and use File -> Plugins to load that as a plugin.
