How do I send console output to the clipboard?

Suppose I have a command that prints to the standard output, like:
$ echo hi
hi
How can I send this to the clipboard instead, as if I selected the output and did Ctrl+C?

On X, echo hi | xsel -ib seems to work. I can then paste with Ctrl+V. Sometimes I have to repeat it a few times for it to "stick".
