Unicode is not supported in RFB versions 3.x and lower so it is impossible to transfer clipboard text outside the Latin-1 character set.
The VNC protocol is pixel based. Although this leads to great flexibility (i.e.- any type of desktop can be displayed), it is often less efficient than solutions that have a better understanding of the underlying graphic layout like X11 or Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. Those protocols send graphic primitives or high level commands in a simpler form (e.g., "open window"), whereas RFB just sends the raw pixel data.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
