RaiMan proposed the following answer:
If it is Notepad++ and it talks about ANSI, then it is definitely not
utf-8, but something like the Windows standard encodings like
Windows-1252 or  ISO Latin-1

--- encode/decode("string_escape")
is only a feature that internally allows to convert every byte string into a string that physically contains these 4 characters for every byte: \xHH, where H is one out the hexa digits 0 .. f.

It is a poor man's solution to encode a byte stream, so that it can be
transported on every ascii-only channel (like the more efficient
Base64), but does not do any conversion/interpretation.

So lets assume it is latin-1:

fullName =  Env.getClipboard().decode("latin_1") # gets it into full
name correctly

print fullName.encode("utf8") # prints it correctly to the message area

print fullName.split(" ") # splits it into its contents

paste(fullName.split(" ")[0]) # pastes it correctly to a latin-1 aware
environment
