Was this on Windows? The Windows builds of Tk have a problem with
astral characters, so you may not be able to use them there. Try it on
Linux, or try using a character with a four-digit codepoint.

Other GUI toolkits may do better (I've used Gtk on Windows with astral
characters, though not from Python), and it should be fine on any
modern Linux system.
