[issue42318] [tkinter] surrogate pairs in Tcl/Tk string when pasting an emoji in a text widget

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

With 8.6.10:

>>> print(ascii("😀")) raises the SyntaxError mentioned earlier
>>> print(ascii(input())) works and prints:
'\udced\udca0\udcbd\udced\udcb8\udc84'

In an editor window I don't get spurious text, but syntax colouring is a bit off: The text after the closing quote is coloured as if it is inside the string literal. That continues for the characters on the next line
