I want to copy some text that contain control characters (example: LF, NUL, BEL, etc…)
Seemly OSX defaults don't let me, if I choose for example a text that is like this:
'abcdNULefg' to copy and paste, it pastes only 'abcd'
There are settings for the clipboard? There is a way to copy control characters
copy/paste

You can try using this method.
From the finder menu > special characters > latin. Once there, select any characters you like and add to favorites.
Also, once copied, From the edit menu > Paste and Match style.
