I am writing a script that includes responding with characters like: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

But these characters are not displaying properly from eggdrop, even though my IRC client can copy/paste and also view them from other users that have said it in the channel.

Also, it is not reading the characters properly (e.g. I tried to write a script that whenever someone says "(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻" then my bot responds with something else. It shows up in eggdrop log as "(â¯Â°â¡Â°)â¯ï¸µ â»ââ»" so I tried to put "(â¯Â°â¡Â°)â¯ï¸µ â»ââ»" in the script, but it still doesn't respond to that).

How can I include these characters in eggdrop?

You'll have to regsubex all, or string map, then match with preset replies.

I am sure this is not the first post in egghelp about this, so there may also possibly be an answer available for you, if you search. I don't want to do everything for you, that is not how people learn. There is an answer though, so keep looking

I thought this is an issue with character sets in eggdrop, not a scripting issue. I already tried string map and there's no manual page for TCL regsubex

It might be caused by eggdrop not supporting Utf8 properly, you can try following the steps on http://eggwiki.org/Utf-8 to get it to work.
