Cut & pasting many times includes HTML formatting codes. Easiest way is to cut & paste into a true text only editor, save, close, re-open and then cut & paste the text. All the special codes will be stripped. This is a common issue with many data entry forms.
Emailing may work if you are truly sending a text only format but most emailers are more robust and will transmit special chars.
