Typing UTF-8 characters in IDLE

[Ricky Waller]

A few unicode tutorials on the web show that it's possible to type
unicode characters into the IDLE gui...

However, when i type korean (hangul) characters it complains:

Unsupported Characters in input

I don't have a great understanding of unicode, but when I use a UTF-8
source file with korean strings in, and run it as a CGI script it
works fine.

I'm using python 2.3.3 on win XP.

Any tutorials / info anyone could point me to? Thanks...
