On most systems, editors and all other applications work with Unicode
strings and copy/paste Unicode strings. Other encodings are only used on
input & output, via conversion. The encoding is either implicit in the file
format (e.g., .doc) or declared inside the file syntax (e.g., .xml), or not
(plain text, usually uses the system default).
