** Pasting non-ASCII characters into "emacs -nw" doesn't work.
This happens if you paste using the Windows shortcuts, such as
S-<Insert> and C-v or C-S-v. Evidently, these paste methods support
only ASCII text, at least in some Windows configurations.
Instead, use the Emacs C-y key to paste from the clipboard, which on
Windows works on text-only frames as well. Make sure your
customizations don't affect the value of 'interprogram-paste-function',
which should be 'gui-selection-value', even in -nw sessions. In
addition, you should make sure the font used by the Windows Terminal
supports the characters you paste (the default font set by Windows
should be okay). For best results, we also recommend to set the console
codepage to 65001, which is the UTF-8 codepage. You can do that with
the following command, which should be done _before_ running Emacs on
the Windows Terminal:
c:\> chcp 65001
