As I read through the comments, it seems this is still an issue that only reproduces with mouse right clicking, not with the <kbd>Ctrl+v</kbd> key-binding. If so, then this is due to the .NET issue https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/38966.

I can only reproduce the issue in conhost from Windows 11 – the Unicode char is skipped when right-clicking paste, but not when pasting with <kbd>Ctrl+v</kbd>. Both work fine in Windows Terminal for me.

There are quite a few duplicate issues in PSReadLine/PowerShell repos due to the same .NET issue:

• https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/1603
• https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/13102
• https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/760

@StevenBucher98 I can reproduce the problem in pwsh 7.2.4.

The difference in right click and ctrl+v in VS Code is explained because we have this keybinding built-in:

   { "key": "ctrl+v",                "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
                                     "when": "terminalFocus && !accessibilityModeEnabled && terminalShellType == 'pwsh'",
                                     "args": {"text":"\u0016"} },

This allows PSReadLine to handle pasting which does a better job with multi-line strings. Right click just does a regular paste and I don’t think we should fix this to have a similar send a sequence to PSReadLine on click until custom mouse bindings are implemented (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/3130).

So the problem here is pwsh for some reason filters out the € character, the fact that it works fine in cmd.exe means this is a problem in pwsh. Can you please reopen this?
