 That is probably done by word. iconv is not used here (at least not

 output in GuiClipboard if you want to find it out.

Word is definetively not guilty here. I can copy the character to and from any program on my computer, only copying to LyX destroys the single character to three.

I'm having computer issues so I'm virtually off-line at the moment, but one of the issues I've been messing with is the character encoding. Maybe some of that is useful. Here's some stuff from my memory: Windows uses a character encoding that is _almost_ the same as ISO 8859-1/15?, but there is a small number of characters that is different.

What character encoding does LyX/Qt on Windows use?

The rest is off-topic, but perhaps amusing for others. I've been tearing my hair trying to get the Swedish characters working across a setup:

        linux: gnome-terminal -> ssh -> screen -> pine

where I sometimes don't see the Swedish characters correctly. The reason is that pine doesn't support UTF8, so I have to get it to use a different encoding. *sigh*

Oh well, my old laptop at home is slowly getting a more recent Linux so I hope I'll be online soon.
