Richmond Are you sure that it's not just a font issue? I believe that Python is installed in a standard Ubuntu distribution so I tried this in Xubuntu:
peter@schulz-xubuntu:~$ python Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 13:49:51) [GCC 4.8.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print u'\U0001F4A9' 💩 >>> print u'\U0001D122' 𝄢 As you may see the F clef displayed correctly but the pile of ... didn't. Peter PS If you view the email under OS X you could well see it.
