[issue4652] IDLE does not work with Unicode

[Andrew Svetlov]

Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com> added the comment:

For now unicode BMP has full support in TK while non-BMP characters doesn't works.

'こ' character is BMP symbol:
>>> hex(ord('こ'))
'0x3053'
which is lesser than non-BMP space (starting from 0x10000).

I have no idea why alt-c doesn't converted to 'ç' (also BMP by the way) and why it has been processed by Helary's IDLE. I have no any Mac box nearby to check. 
Sure, 'alt-c' is minor problem if this is problem at all.
