Windows 10: cannot copy paste WITH formatting

Hi, my computer used to copy and paste with formatting just fine. For a few weeks now it cannot copy and paste with formatting.


I've tried ctrl + C and ctrl + V, but it doesn't work. I've also tried just using right clicks on the mouse and it does not work.


This is not software specific, it happens across all softwares.


For example, I want to copy and paste a unicode text, these numbers that have a circle around them, found here: http://xahlee.info/comp/unicode_circled_numbers.html


When I paste them it's comes into the document as question marks.


I also have trouble with this in documents in different softwares, where I have text already in the document, but when I copy and paste it in the same document, it won't paste with the formatting, it always pastes without formatting.


Thank you

:)
