No. That is a fundamental limit in Tcl 8 (it uses UCS-2 to store 
strings), and will probably only addressed in Tcl 9. ttk addresses 
mostly the theming issue and is now "8 years new" (Tk 8.5a6) with a 
precursor (Tile) from ten years ago.

YMMV. Is non-BMP needed for any living non-esoteric language? I agree 
that it is a big flaw, but still is useful for very many projects.
