File extension textclipping is typically related to a special text clipping format used on Apple computers since Mac OS 9. It is still used even in the latest macOS versions.
These files are generated when you select and drag selected text on your desktop or in Finder window.
If you want to include this text clipping somewhere else, such as a Word document or an email, you simply drag the file from your desktop into the desired target, and your clipped text is automatically inserted.
You can probably view these files using any text editor, provided the text data are stil saved somewhere.
Some apps allow for export of *.textclipping files and saving the output as a picture (JPG, PNG etc.)
