I used the ClipboardViewer app to inspect the contents of the clipboard on MacOS

Upon copying the word 'étoile' from TeXmacs, the clipboard contains
  public.utf8-plain-text 
         -> 00000000:  c3 83 c2 a9 74 6f 69 6c 65     √.¬©toile 
  public.utf16-plain-text 
        -> 00000000:  c3 00 a9 00 74 00 6f 00 69 00  √.©.t.o.i.
            00000010:  6c 00 65 00                                l.e.      
  (as well as other data types not shown)

According to the utf8 encoding,
c3 83 = LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE
c2 a9 = COPYRIGHT SIGN
are incorrect.

By contrast, upon copying the word 'étoile' from Textedit.app, the clipboard contains
  public.utf8-plain-text
        -> 00000000:  c3 a9 74 6f 69 6c 65           √©toile 
where
c3 a9 = LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
is correct.

As far as I understand, the utf-8 representation produced by TeXmacs is incorrect.
I am not sure whether the utf16 representation is correct (and I am not sure it is used when pasting anyway).

1) when i copy paste the word "étoile" from texmacs to textedit or word, i
get étoile

Obviously Texmacs is placing utf-8 encoded text on the cilpboard and textedit/
word misinterpret it as another encoding (which is strange because I though
MacOS had standardized to utf-8 long ago). Does it happen if you paste in any
other text editors as well?

but 2)
- when i copy paste the word "étoile" from word for mac version 2011 (14.5.2)
to texmacs, >texmacs (1.99.4) keeps the turning colored circle of mac os X
during a long time and displays ><error|bad image|null box>

have you tried all the "paste from ..." possibilities?

Sorry I can't help furher: I Do not have access to a Mac.
