perl Tk "code point" "too high", !g perl Tk "code point" "too high" -> Re: Tk Symbola Font viewer

Basically, something about unicode 6.0 version required, which older versions of perl don't support

this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4768049/is-there-a-way-to-fix-the-code-point-too-high-problem-in-perl-tk

Says Tk only supports Unicode Plane 0, or the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), so it won't work, the end, tada

update: I checked in Tkx/Tcl::pTk it looks wrong (using Tcl/Tk 8.6b1.2), I even eval  .e insert end "smiley face      \u1F642\n" according to How to Use Tcl 8.1 Internationalization Features and it still looks wrong, as in it looks like TWO characters that are not smiley face, so not a font issue, Tk just doesn't support it

FWIW wxPerl with deja vu font shows two squares , you can copy each individually and get "�" and "�", but if you copy paste them together you get "🙂". Same as what happens in notepad/wordpad.

Yeah, from pTk copying i get two chars always ὤ2

So, yeah, wxWidgets looks to support it if you have the right font .
