Martin, your suspicion is correct, as verified by selecting and copying the
string and pasting into code between quotes. I strongly suspect that tk just
sends the string as is to the OS graphics system insert text function, that the
latter decides what to display. I ran
for i in range(1,33): print(f'<{chr(i)}>')
on Windows console, Windows IDLE, and Mac IDLE (omitting '1' crashes on Mac)
and there are multiple inconsistencies. I believe tcl/tk only documents \t and
\n because those are the only two control chars whose behavior is consistent
across graphics systems. Thanks for digging up the previous issue. I would
close as a duplicate if I did not see a need for doc revision.
