Hi Leonid (?),

Миронов Леонид Владимирович via Cygwin wrote:
> getclip and putclip from cygutils-extra garble unicode characters: non-latin characters copied to clipboard in windows are replaced with question marks when retrieved with getclip in cygwin, and non-latin characters copied to clipboard using putclip are pasted it in windows looking like utf-8 displayed in cp1252 but can be retrieved with getclip exactly as pasted, so it looks like the problem is not in the way the data is copied but in the way cygwin and windows communicate text encoding to each other. LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, windows ANSI codepage is set to cp1251 - 1251, not 1252.

Thanks for the report.  I will investigate.
