cut and paste from viewers depends on
- documentproviding tounicode
- viewer dealing with unicode
- os copy buffer dealing with unicode / locales
- receiving (editor, mailer) dealing with unicode / locales
e.g. here
- acrobat copies the proper math italic v
- sumatrapdf copies nothing
- okular copies a v
- pdftotext output nothing
so .. who knows
