Where is the text I copied to clipboard?

[Android Central Question]

I was drafting a letter in Gmail. I copied it to clipboard but when I when to paste it was not there. Is it gone?

It stays in the clipboard until you copy or cut something else, or until you restart. It's a scratchpad, not long term storage. ("Where" specifically, is "in RAM". Where specifically in RAM depends on the manufacturer.)
