I just tried modifying https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html#a-hello-world-program to display "Hello World \N{ROCKET}" instead (Python 3.10.12 as included with Ubuntu 22.04). I don't get a warning or error, but the emoji isn't displayed either. I suspect that the default font doesn't include emojis and Tk isn't smart enough to fall back to a different font (unlike xfce4-terminal which shows the emoji just fine). hp -- _ | Peter J.
