Hmm. This could be part of the known issues with Tk (on which Idle depends) and non-BMP characters, but a caret should be safe. What OS and Python are you running? Can you pull up a terminal (aka command prompt or console) and run "python3 -m idlelib.idle"? (Or "python2 -m idlelib.idle" if you're using Python 2.7.) Then try it again, and see if there's an exception traceback shown in the terminal. If you can't get Idle to start from a terminal, try opening Python's interactive mode (if you have a standard Windows installation, you should have a Python command line in the Start menu). From there, type "import idlelib.idle" and it should fire up Idle. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
