Also in case it's interesting:

$ printf "e\xcc\x81" | xclip -i

$ xclip -o | od -a              
0000000    e  cc  81


$ echo "é" | od -a
0000000    e  cc  81  nl

In the above, the "é" was obtained with middle-click (paste).


$ echo "é" | od -a
0000000   c3  a9  nl

In the above, the entire command 'echo "é" | od -a' was copied from the
prior line and pasted with the mouse.
