Hi again, sorry for my somewhat disjointed replies :)

With Python2 when I do the following: from Tkinter import * import ttk root = Tk() l = ttk.Label(root) l.pack(padx=40, pady=40) s = u'Test \U0001d306 String' s1 = s.encode('utf-8') l.configure(text=s1) root.mainloop() the label's text looks like expected. Maybe that is just the same "magic" that tk.eval applies. It does not seem to be that easy with Python3 though, apparently I missed some of the subtleties with Python3's unicode handling mechanisms.
