Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
- OS: macOS (MacBook Pro)
- Terminal: Cursor integrated terminal via SSH to Debian VPS
- Version: 2.1.196
- Problem: Cyrillic text displays correctly in terminal but copies to clipboard as garbled Latin-1 (e.g. "Привет" "Ã^PÃ^QÃ^P¸Ã^P²Ã^PµÃ^Q")
- Works fine: regular terminal commands (echo "Привет") copy correctly
- Was working before recent update
What Should Happen?
Cyrillic text copied from Claude Code output should paste correctly as UTF-8 Unicode characters (e.g. "Привет мир"), the same way regular terminal output copies correctly.
