[issue14777] Tkinter clipboard_get() decodes characters incorrectly

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

As is often the case with Tcl/Tk issues, there are platform differences.  On OS X, with the two native Tcl/Tk implementations (Aqua Cocoa and Aqua Carbon), the examples work appear to work as is *and* type "UTF8_STRING" does not exist.  The less commonly used X11 Tcl/Tk on OS X does support and require "UTF8_STRING" for the example given.  So any doc change needs to be carefully worded.
