Pull request overview

This PR fixes an issue on Windows where copying text containing PowerShell variables (like $env:FOO) would cause those variables to be evaluated/expanded due to PowerShell's string interpolation when passed as command-line arguments.

Changes:

• Modified Windows clipboard implementation to use stdin instead of command-line arguments
• Added explicit UTF-8 encoding configuration for PowerShell's input stream
• Aligned Windows implementation pattern with existing Linux clipboard implementations
