I can copy and past ASCII Roman alphabetic text in vim and gVim.
But I can't paste the Unicode Delta symbol (Δ) into vim nor gVim.
Specs:
* gVim 7.3
* Windows 7 Professional x64
I just pasted it from your mail into my running gvim (7.3.661 Huge with
GTK2-GNOME2 GUI), and ga over it gives me:
<Δ> 916, Hex 0394, Octal 1624
So the next question is: What is your 'encoding' set to? Type
:verbose set encoding?
and see what the answer is. If it is latin1 or cp1252, or indeed any
8-bit encoding other than a Greek one, the reason you can't paste the
delta sign is that you haven't set gvim to be able to represent it in
memory. In that case, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_Unicode
about how to set gvim to work in UTF-8 (which can represent anything
that any other encoding can represent) and remember that any change to
'encoding' must happen in your vimrc, before any editfile is loaded,
otherwise the files which _are_ already loaded at the time of the change
will become garbled.
Best regards,
Tony.
