I often have to cut and paste non-ASCII Unicode text (specifically, Devnagari, the script used by many Indian languages) into and from my Raspberry Pi 5. I'm using wayvnc and connecting to it with RealVNC viewer. however, when I cut and paste non-ASCII text either to or from the Pi, I get a bunch of question marks (when going desktop -> Pi) or a bunch of gibberish (when going Pi -> desktop). After spending hours trying to figure this out I finally discovered that the problem is with wayvnc, which does not support UTF-8 encoding (see https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/discussions/134) when copying and pasting.
There doesn't seem any way around this with wayvnc. Is there an alternative? I could just stop using Wayland, I know, but I have the sense - possibly wrong - that this will break other things, and more things over time?
