No - its definitely a bug and IMO a serious one. Yes there are also issues with funny characters - but in general using clipboard data / copy / paste is not reliable.

That isn't hard. The problem is going to occur with unsophisticated users, like me, who don't understand what the problem is, and suffer frustration as a consequence. This is a tiny bit user-unfriendly. Probably not good for RR. Of course, they have limited resources and are doing the best they can. OTOH, if I can paste unicode into Stickies, TextEdit, or an email client, I guess the computational task isn't that hard, and I suppose the necessary code is available off the shelf. Not a huge issue for me in any case.
