I copied text from russian web site from Chrome browser window.
I dont know which format Chrome places to clipboard but this text can pasted to other windows applications without issues.
Maybe it is UTF-16 since in my knowldge windows uses UTF 16 everywhere in OS.
Windows API call shows that there are 5 diffrent formats available for pasting. Not sure which _cliptext chooses.
