Unfortunately the "+clipboard" for Cygwin uses the X-Windows clipboard, not the native Windows clipboard. In this case /dev/clipboard is a way to access the native Windows clipboard within Cygwin. It has the benefit of understanding utf-8 which putclip/getclip currently do not. Thank you for the tip!
