...as it is documented to do.

How does Windows know which code page to use when converting from ANSI ->
UNICODE? It is a 1:many mapping. If the wrong Unicode characters are being
stored in the clipboard, obviously something is wrong. The solution is for
the OP to use CStringW to explicitly create a wide (Unicode) string from the
Ansi and put that into the clipboard using CF_UNICODETEXT. As you say, this
downconverts to CF_TEXT but cannot guarantee correct results due to loss of
precision.
