Greetings, Миронов Леонид Владимирович!
getclip and putclip from cygutils-extra garble unicode characters:
non-latin characters copied to clipboard in windows are replaced with
question marks when retrieved with getclip in cygwin, and non-latin
characters copied to clipboard using putclip are pasted it in windows
looking like utf-8 displayed in cp1252 but can be retrieved with getclip
exactly as pasted, so it looks like the problem is not in the way the data
is copied but in the way cygwin and windows communicate text encoding to
each other. LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, windows ANSI codepage is set to cp1251 -
1251, not 1252.
This looks like you are using a program incapable of dealing with unicode
clipboard. To achieve better results, switch your input language/keyboard to
matching language before copying text from application. I.e. switch to
Russian then copy text, then check what is returned by getclip.
But then, why LC_CTYPE is en_US?
getclip and putclip are just broken, they don't even work in a pure
UTF-8 environment.
