The clipboard contains text, including Unicode characters. I'm trying
to exchange these with my program, but not successfully.

I used to do it by typing ^V in a TMemo or a TRichEdit, but I have
discovered that this is a sure way to lose Unicode characters.

With the help of the help files (often not helpful at all), I tried
this:

  TClipboard *cb=Clipboard();
  cb->Open();
  int TextHandle = cb->GetAsHandle(CF_TEXT);
  char *pText = (char *)GlobalLock((HGLOBAL)TextHandle);
  GlobalUnlock((HGLOBAL)TextHandle);
  cb->Close();

Again the Unicode characters are replaced by question marks. Perhaps
this should be expected, since char* has no space for Unicode. But
what else can I do?

To write into the clipboard, I found that SetAsHandle (the obvious
opposite of GetAsHandle) is unusable. It takes an int as second
parameter, and I want to store a lot more. But the following works. I
haven't tried it with Unicode yet:

  TClipboard *cb=Clipboard();
  cb->Open();
  cb->SetTextBuf(string.c_str());
  cb->Close();
