Tk does only handle BMP characters. It's a restriction deep inside the 
codebase of Tcl 8, which will be lifted only in (the future) Tcl 9. 
Howver, it should not crash, rather paste a U+FFFD character. X-Post to 
comp.lang.tcl. Can you check the Tk version you use? Try:

import tkinter
tkinter.Tk().eval("info patchlevel")
