I am trying to edit Japanese characters intermixed with latin

It displays ok in both the command line version on linux and X, and
paste works ok on the command line / terminal version on linux. Paste
doesn't work for extended characters while it does for normal
characters. But that's it. I haven't had any luck getting them to
display correctly on Windows.
have you set 'guifont' to a font that includes kana and kanji? You can
use MS Mincho or MS Gothic.

...or MingLiU, which was my favourite CJK font when I was on Windows.

which I wrote at a time when I used double-boot between Windows and
Linux. What I have *not* tried, however, is running a Windows system and
an X11 display at the same time.
Copy & paste ought to work between "Firefox for Windows" and "gvim for
Windows running in UTF-8" (if correctly set, see the first wiki link
above), they represent the data the same way. Between an X11 program and
a "Windows" program (in either direction) it might happen that the one
is trying to use UTF-8 while the other thinks it's UTF-16le or UCS-2le,
and if that's the case, all hell may break loose. If BMP characters
(U+0000 to U+FFFF) can be pasted but not higher ones, then maybe one
program is using UTF-16le (with surrogate codepoints to represent
codepoints above U+FFFF by means of two 16-bit words each) while the
other one uses UCS-2le (with no understanding of surrogates). In that
case you are perhaps using an obsolete version of the latter program --
for the record, the current "stable" version of Firefox is Firefox 3.6.3
and can be had by browsing to http://www.getfirefox.com/ while gvim
needs to be at version 7.1.116 or higher to _display_ codepoints higher
than U+FFFF (it could _edit_ them all right even before that version,
but they were displayed as question marks or such).
Best regards,
Tony.
