I have TigerVNC Server v1.11.90 Beta (https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/releases/tag/v1.11.90) and Guacamole 1.3.0 running on my Linux system. I need to copy paste non-Latin characters.
TigerVNC client and Guacamole SSH connection handle Unicode characters correctly. If I use Guacamole VNC connection with Clipboard Encoding set to UTF-8, copy pasting Unicode characters results in transformation issues (possibly UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1). I think this is due to Guacamole's LibVNC library usage (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1043). Is there a way to fix this? LibVNC/libvncserver 1.0.0 release will add support for UTF-8 clipboard (https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/pull/468). If I build Guacamole with the LibVNC UTF-8 changes, will it automagically work or is there some integration needed on the Guacamole side? Guacamole Docs: "As most VNC servers will not accept data in any other format, Guacamole will translate between UTF-8 and ISO 8859-1 when exchanging clipboard data with the VNC server, but this behavior can be overridden with the clipboard-encoding parameter." Examples: "£" pasted in TigerVNC client correctly pastes as "£" "£" pasted in Guacamole VNC connection via sidebar menu incorrectly pastes as "£" "£" pasted in Guacamole SSH connection via sidebar menu correctly pastes as "£" Guacd Log shows UTF-8 Usage: guacd[6252]: DEBUG: Client is using protocol version "VERSION_1_3_0" guacd[6252]: INFO: Using non-standard VNC clipboard encoding: 'UTF-8'.
