The text in question is pasted properly in Emacs.
Actual behavior
Seems to be some issues specific to Emacs, as pasting Cyrillic text works fine with GEdit.

Reproduce the issue using WSLg 0.51.2.0 by pasting the provided Cyrillic text into Emacs, then compare the result with pasting into GEdit. Trace the WSLg clipboard path involved in the Emacs case; done means Cyrillic text pastes properly in Emacs without regressing the working GEdit behavior.
