On further testing, it appeared that the xclip itself cannot handle
utf8. On replacing xclip with xsel, it now works without problem. What
problem did you encounter in using xsel?
I prefer \034 to \266 as delimiter, since the later is a 2 byte
sequence in utf8 encoding. I'm not sure if tr can handle that. Why
choose \034? Because awk uses it.
on ubuntu, sh is not bash; it is the old sh.

echo -n "$cut" >> $file
echo -n "$sel_clip" | xsel -p -i
echo -n "$sel_clip" | xsel -b -i
exit 0
