[issue12342] characters with ord above 65535 fail to display in IDLE

[Martin v. Löwis]

Changing the error message sounds fine to me.

People in need of the feature should lobby their system vendors to provide a Tcl build that uses a 32-bit Tcl_UniChar. Not sure whether it would actually render the string correctly, but at least it would be able to represent it correctly internally.
