Likewise. I've been accustomed to copying and pasting unrecognized characters (one of the easiest solutions is to paste them into a Python console - ord() for one character, or a Py2 repr() for multiple - to quickly see what the codepoints are), relying on the clipboard getting the exact same sequence that was printed by the application.
