That's not a UTF-16 encoded byte string, though. It's a Unicode string that contains two surrogates. So maybe the solution is to convert from true Unicode strings into strings like the above - but if so, it absolutely must not be done in any user-facing way. It should be an implementation detail of Tkinter. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
