   I think i fixed the paste part. See #42. Checkout #42 with the tests here,

   The weird thing is that a lot of unicode chars seem to work except ±.

   Paste works. Having some trouble with copy though.

   How do we feel about piping UTF-8 to clip.exe? This seems to be more reliable than sending UTF-16LE. Adding the BOM is useful in either case but clip.exe copies it to the clipboard along with the text content - not a good solution.

   PowerShell instead of VB Script?

   Set-Clipboard("some string.")
   $clipData = Get-Clipboard()
   Write-Host($clipData) // some string.

   @mmktomato the get-clipboard and set-clipboard cmdlets are only available on machines with WMF 5.0, which is certainly not most of them.

   I'm seeing this issue trying to copy ∵. Instead, 5" is copied.

   Windows 8.1, copy-paste 1.3.0

   I've posted my solution to this in #45.
