Sir I have a unicode file created in notepad

I refer to this link
copy-unicode-text-clipboard

I want to copy file contents to _clipboard, so I am trying to use these codes

tcUnicodeText=FULLPATH(GETFILE('txt'))

DO CopyUnicodeText2Clipboard WITH tcUnicodeText

&& Copy Unicode text into Clipboard
FUNCTION CopyUnicodeText2Clipboard(tcUnicodeText)
LOCAL lnDataLen, lcDropFiles, llOk, i, lhMem, lnPtr, lcUnicodeText

#DEFINE CF_UNICODETEXT      13
&&  Global Memory Variables with Compile Time Constants
#DEFINE GMEM_MOVABLE    0x0002
#DEFINE GMEM_ZEROINIT   0x0040
#DEFINE GMEM_SHARE      0x2000

&& Load required Windows API functions
=LoadApiDlls()

llOk = .T.
lcUnicodeText = tcUnicodeText + CHR(0)+CHR(0)
lnDataLen = LEN(lcUnicodeText)
&& Copy Unicode text into the allocated memory
lhMem = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVABLE+GMEM_ZEROINIT+GMEM_SHARE, lnDataLen)
lnPtr = GlobalLock(lhMem)
=CopyFromStr(lnPtr, @lcUnicodeText, lnDataLen)
=GlobalUnlock(lhMem)
&& Open clipboard and store Unicode text into it
llOk = (OpenClipboard(0) <> 0)
IF llOk
    =EmptyClipboard()
    llOk = (SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, lhMem) <> 0)
    && If call to SetClipboardData() is successful, the system will take ownership of the memory
    &&   otherwise we have to free it
    IF NOT llOk
        =GlobalFree(lhMem)
    ENDIF
    && Close clipboard
    =CloseClipboard()
ENDIF
RETURN llOk

FUNCTION LoadApiDlls
&&  Clipboard Functions
DECLARE LONG OpenClipboard IN WIN32API LONG HWND
DECLARE LONG CloseClipboard IN WIN32API
DECLARE LONG EmptyClipboard IN WIN32API
DECLARE LONG SetClipboardData IN WIN32API LONG uFormat, LONG hMem
&&  Memory Management Functions

RETURN
Codes runs successfully but when I paste data into MS.Word then this data appears

폇쟡⃣飭⃣਍臂頠폭⃿Ÿ＀炙?뷑ᄐ芖g﹌䛦覒蠀

instead of this data
