But sadly, *only* the BMP. That's enough for most modern languages,
but it's by no means all of Unicode. I'm told there are plans in the
works for improving Tcl and Tk, which tkinter and thus Idle could then
take advantage of, but for the time being, we're stuck on sixteen bit
characters in Idle. :(
