What Emacs version are you using? Emacs 22.x ought to use UTF-16
(a.k.a. Unicode) encoding when passing text through the Windows
clipboard, so any native Windows application should be happy with the
result.
Can you try pasting the same text into Notepad? If that works, then
the problem is likely ion Mozilla, not in Emacs.
