> From the discussions here, http://wiki.tcl.tk/1364, it appears that Tcl

Extract of http://wiki.tcl.tk/1364 :

"RS 2008-07-09: Unicode out of BMP (> U+FFFF) requires a deeper rework of Tcl and Tk: we'd need 32 bit chars and/or surrogate pairs. UTF-8 at least can deal with 31-bit Unicodes by principle."

> I don't think there is anything practical IDLE

We might raise an error with better error message than ValueError('unsupported character'), but it's maybe overkill.
