That's a different issue; IDLE can't handle non-BMP characters. Try it
from the terminal if you can - on my Linux systems (Debians and
Ubuntus with GNOME and gnome-terminal), the terminal is set to UTF-8
and quite happily accepts the full Unicode range. On Windows, that may
well not be the case, though.
