Further information as I experiment, copy from a pdf in "evince" and
this is the original text
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Injection = £ 23.69 (US $ 44.53)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which when pasted gives
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Injection = \u2194 23.69 (US \u2729 44.53)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So when it can't read something, it gives it its numeric coding.

The font being used is "DejaVu Sans Mono" which is emacs
default. So what font can render those symbols correctly from the
clipboard and is the same size as the present font? I've tried
"Ubuntu" and also "Times New Roman" but both failed the test. And I
can't find anything about it in google either.
