New submission from Victor Domingos <editor.arcosonl...@gmail.com>: In the current Python 3.7.0b1, on macOS 10.12.6 Sierra (also on 10.11 El Capitan), which seems to include a newer Tcl/tk version, it still does not support a variety of UTF characters, including Emoji characters that nowadays are of very common use. A quick search on the web returns some hints that maybe Tcl/tk could be compiled with different options in order to unlock those characters:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/515 https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/6c0d7aec6713ab6a7c3e12dff7f26bff4679bc9d I am not sure if it is officially supported by now, but at least for me, as a Python and tkinter user, it would be a great improvement.
