Hmm. This could be part of the known issues with Tk (on which Idle
depends) and non-BMP characters, but a caret should be safe. What OS
and Python are you running? Can you pull up a terminal (aka command
prompt or console) and run "python3 -m idlelib.idle"? (Or "python2 -m
idlelib.idle" if you're using Python 2.7.) Then try it again, and see
if there's an exception traceback shown in the terminal.

If you can't get Idle to start from a terminal, try opening Python's
interactive mode (if you have a standard Windows installation, you
should have a Python command line in the Start menu). From there, type
"import idlelib.idle" and it should fire up Idle.
