| If run from the input bar via script prefix,
shows nothing, which is unexpected
and
grabs
which is expected.
If run in a script (say, inside a plugin)
shows
which is expected
and
grabs
which is unexpected
Is there something I should be doing to make those unexpected results look more like the expected ones? |

| If I have UTF-8 turned off for the output window, and Dina as the font, then your first example works for me.
If I turn UTF-8 on then it isn't rendered.
As for the clipboard, are you running with UTF-8 enabled or not? |

| | Enabled. Otherwise I can't use ╔═══ for drawing maps in main output. Except that this is for a different plugin than the one that wants UTF8 output enabled, so I guess I need a solution that doesn't care. |

| | Side note, I'm pretty sure that only single byte characters matter for this, since Aardwolf doesn't actually support players sending utf8. So I guess maybe I need to convert everything to non-utf8 equivalent characters which should look identical. |

| I implemented my own utf8unconvert in Lua to replace low utf8 with extended ascii bytes, so I can now put "¯" into the clipboard from a script, but I'm not sure what to do about higher utf8 symbols like "╔"...
SetClipboard("╔════════════")
still produces
â•”â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•

| Bear with me for a bit. We have had wild weather, the power failed, and now my Internet access is limited because the modem won't connect to the network.
I am writing this using a WiFi hotspot from my phone. |

| I can't reproduce that. If I copy that SetClipboard line from your post and use it in the MUSHclient command window it appears like this:
SetClipboard("+------------")
And that copies to the clipboard OK. |
