There might be two problems.  One is whether cut'n'paste works well
or not, and another is whether the browser can handle encoding conversion
correctly.

I tested with galeon and w3mmee.  (w3m doesn't support UTF-8.)
Also, Intenet Explorer on Windows works well.

I'd like to test your operation.  Which browser did you use?
