This update is unrelated to the original report, which deals with characters past BMP (the example uses U+0192 and U+266E). I have not been able to reproduce the problem.

It might be related to #901249, but I cannot say. The other client (Geany) seems to be a factor - if you can reproduce the problem with xsel, that would be helpful. copy and paste rely on the source to provide the data in different formats, and the target to request what's appropriate. -- Thomas E.
