That sounds more like escape sequence not being interpreted, but maybe? It’s a mess.
Basically, in some implementations (it’s true for at least KDE Plasma), the console app is never seen as “active” (the terminal emulator is), and as such can’t access the clipboard, something like that. There’s third party program you can use, and plugins for things like VIM, but when you get a step further with remote clipboard it’s even worse. And even when solutions exists, there’s weird caveat like “it will work all the time except if you’ve clicked somewhere in the past few seconds” or something.
I’m sure things will improve over time, but “we’re not there yet”.
I have a problem where copying from one application and pasting in another application randomly doesn’t work (using the correct key combo) but triple mousepad click to paste does work (I use Niri)
Wait, is wayland the reason copy paste doesnt work and inserts weird character and brackets all the time?

Ok thanks, i quiet like kde but it is very annoying to not be able to copy paste without cleanup.
I think what you’re having is when the ‘pastee’ application is expecting shift-ctrl-v but you’ve used ctrl-v or vice versa.

I get that on x11. Then I re paste and the wierd characters go away. Its odd
