I’m using System.setClipboard to add content to the clipboard but I have come across something quite strange which I hope someone could help me solve. Part of the code uses this script:

```auto
on (press){
   System.setClipboard("&#260;");
}

```

But when pasted , that particular character does not show and instead a standard ‘A’ appears.

Can someone help solve this please?
