In my Latin-1 environment (German), the System Clipboard skips every non Latin-1
character of the clipboard content, it seems to return Latin-1 characters. Use
an application capable of making non-Latin characters accessible by the
clipboard to test this:

/* ClipboardTest.java
*/

package com.mn.tools.test.bugs.java;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;

/**
This class should show that the Java Clipboard JDK1.3.0_01 on Windows9 8 SE is
not able to transfer
(at least some) Unicode characters.

System:
- Windows98 SE (German)
- C:\>java -version
java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)
- Note that the used JDK is not a Japanese or Chinese release

How to reproduce:
- Use a current Mozilla Browser or Mozilla 0.6

- Testcase 1
- Go to http://chinese.china.com/zh_tw/
- Select some chars
- Copy them
- Run this program
-> This program will see an empty String
- Testcase 2
- Go to http://www.ru/index_r.htm
- Select some text, for example this text where you can find
"Arts and Culture" in the English version of that page ( http://www.ru/ )
- Run this program
-> This program will just see the spaces of the selected text, not the other
characters selected.
- Mozilla 0.6 and Netscape Communicator 4.7 do not work together while
Mozilla 0.6 and Internet Explorer 5 do. This proves that the problem is not on the
Mozilla side.
