I've been using ClipX (http://bluemars.org/clipx/) for years now. It's search and UI isn't that sexy, but it does a wonderful job of keeping track of the text and images placed on the clipboard. I especially enjoy it's ability to show images inline in the context menu.

It's 2016. Virtually every operating system and programming language in use supports Unicode. How is it still so hard to support it (especially in this case where the data being copied should not matter at all to the actual routines doing the save/restore). Am I missing something fundamental here?

Yeah, I was also very happy with ClipX while I was using Windows. Since switching the main OS to Linux a couple of years ago I've tried many other clipboard managers and found that CopyQ is the best (for me): https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

It's being actively developed and also supports OSX and Windows, so it's worth giving a try.
