Problem

Using plasma-workspace-6.3.2-1.fc41.x86_64, [1] selecting non-ASCII-compatible UTF-8 characters via klipper’s history GUI, as the undermentioned depicts:

…causes Klipper to paste those characters’ code points, in the stead of the actual character. As an example, ☰ becomes \u2630.

Query

Does anyone else experience this? If so, is this behaviour configurable? If not, is it expected? I ask because I have verified that I experience it across reboots.

I think you’re running into this one: 501130 – Selecting Clipboard history items with non-Latin characters, then pasting, sometimes results in escaped numeric references replacing the characters
