I'm having an issue with getclip and pasting utf-8 strings (like
"PONIEDZIAŁEK" for example). Using mintty and right clicking I get

Yep, getclip (and putclip) don't have Unicode support (yet?), so
characters outside your system's ANSI codepage end up as question
marks.
The special /dev/clipboard device does have Unicode support though, so
you could just use 'cat /dev/clipboard' instead of getclip.
It would be nice if putclip/getclip COULD speak Unicode. PTC. Indeed,
PDS. (Ditto mkshortcut, lpr, readshortcut...)
For the clipboard, this would be trivial to achieve; I had recently made
a suggestion: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00648.html
