This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-8429
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8429

--- Description ---

I'm not sure if this is a Qt or a webkit issue, and there is a Qt twist, so I'm
posting it here:

<p>-create an editable QWebView<br/>
-insert some greek letters (e.g. αβγδεζηθικλμπ)<br/>
-select them<br/>
-do a Copy<br/>
-open up Word or TextEdit.app and paste</p>

<p>You get ?'s, instead of the greek letters. Strangly other editors, like
QtCreator and Smultron have no trouble displaying them.</p>

<p>Theory: the data is on the clipboard just fine, but the encoding is not
being included.</p>

<p>I found a hacky workaround: use QClipboard to push the data back on again
like so:</p>

<p>  //something is goofy with the encoding, so copy again using QClipboard
directly...<br/>
  qApp->clipboard()<del>>setText( qApp</del>>clipboard()->text()
);</p>

<p>This actually works, but in order to trap a slew of copy calls you have to
do stuff like reimplement QWebView's keyPressEvent function.</p>
