OK, these are my test cases, all inside a UTF-8 mode xterm with LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8: $ echo bäh | xclip -i ; xclip -o bäh # works fine; bytes are probably handled transparently # xclip -o in a Latin-1 terminal would not work now, effect same as below $ echo bäh | xclip -i # now inserting the selection with the middle mouse button: bäh # UTF-8 bytes are being interpreted as separate characters $ # bäh # selecting this with the mouse $ xclip -o b� # instead of 'ä' the Unicode replacement character gets pasted > Ofcourse, if you can find the issue and fix it I'll happily consider the > patch for inclusion. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with X programming. But I have seen in discussions about xterm that UTF-8 mode has to be handled explicitly with the X clipboard. Kind regards, Thomas
