Some Characters Cannot be Pasted as a Character

What will happen if you select [Copy] instead of [Copy image] in Step(4) and select [Paste] in Step(5).

On WordPad, you can see &T28CD47; instead of the character Character of 山+欠.

Garbled character on WordPad

The character Character of 山+欠 is included in Daikanwa Dictionary. But, this character cannot be used on Windows. That's why the character is displayed as &T-format.

† Super Kanji Search uses TRON Code as a character encoding scheme. Thanks to TRON Code, Super Kanji Search can display all the characters. On the other hand, Windows uses Unicode. The notation "&T28CD47;" is the character code (TRON code by &T-format) of "Character of 山＋欠".

Regarding the characters pasted as a character, refer to "(1)Some pasted characters are displayed as &T-format" in "Detailed: Restrictions on Use".
