This shouldn't be the case with any modern RDP server. The RDP protocol
supports multiple clipboard encodings for transfer, with Guacamole
supporting both Unicode and "text" (ISO 8859-1). Guacamole itself uses
purely Unicode for its own clipboard and will prefer Unicode when
communicating with the RDP server. The only case that Cyrillic or other
characters not present in ISO 8859-1 should be absent on the remote side
when pasting content copied through Guacamole is if the RDP server
(somehow) is not accepting Unicode for clipboard data.

Testing copy/paste of Cyrillic text myself, I am able to copy/paste
Cyrillic from my local machine through Guacamole to a Windows RDP machine
without issue.

Do you see anything in the guacd logs?

problems with cyrillic - clipboard +xRDP Linux

[Аверичев Андрей Валериевич]

Good day!
Faced one clipboard problem over RDP.
Cyrillic text is not copied from the host machine to the guest machine. Spaces 
instead of text.
Copying with side menu alt + ctrl + shift
On the guest I use the xRDP server on Kali Linux. Guacamole Server 1.3 runs on 
Kali Linux, also tested on Ubuntu 20.04.
The host machine can be both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
There are such problems with the Cyrillic alphabet everywhere.
The clipboard between machines using xDP, bypassing guacamole, works correctly.
Maybe there is some solution? Would you recommend any other rdp servers or 
patches for Guacamole?
