The standard Clipboard viewer should do that. At least on XP it has
Text, Locale, OEM Text and Unicode Text entries when text is copied
to the clipboard. The locale can't be viewed, but it seems that Emacs
might be able to do something with that to get text that Emacs puts
on the clipboard in the right encoding. But it cannot influence how
other apps put text on the clipboard (which AFAIK is always in the
System locale, even if the characters cannot be encoded in that).
