Can you please try this in a plain wish? It appears that Tk somehow
cannot determine that your font indeed supports the character, so it
displays the replacement character instead.

Also, did you try passing unicode strings but no font? Tk should
attempt to analyse all available fonts and find a suitable one.

In any case, if it turns out that Tk itself is not capable of handling
that, I suggest that you contact Ajuba Solutions or some Tk group for
help.
