It's been a long time since I left Windows, but can you set some
Unicode locale in your "local settings"? I think it means "codepage
10646" or "codepage 106461" — or something equally weird. With that
kind of setting, it ought to be possible for Windows to transfer the
U+2502 codepoint correctly via the clipboard — if both the sender and
the receiver of the data know which clipboard flavour to use.

Within a single Vim instance, there is no such problem, because Vim
doesn't need the clipboard (registers + and * which are different on
X11 and identical elsewhere); it uses its own registers (usually
register "). As long as you use UTF-8 (or GB18030) as 'encoding', any
Unicode character can be represented in Vim memory and transfered
around by yank/delete/put (which are, of course, the "Vim names" for
copy/cut/paste).


Best regards,
