Package: xclip
Version: 0.08-7
Hi,
If I select some Unicode characters that are not latin-1 in, say,
Firefox, and try to copy them to a file using "xclip -o > file", only
the latin-1 characters come through nicely, and they are encoded as
iso-8859-1, even if LC_CTYPE is set to en_US.UTF-8 (the others are
represented as \uXXXX where XXXX are the hexadecimal number of the
Unicode character: but that is Firefox's doing, not xclip's).
So, xclip should have an option to negociate the selection's character
encoding as utf-8 at the least.
