Python 2 Unicode error with tkinter / tk / tcl #80

Open clach04 opened 10 months ago

python -m puren_tonbo.tools.pttkview README.md

Results in error due to Emoji Unicode characters:

Fine under Windows 10 with Python 3.11.

Probably stuck with this (Python 2.x / tcl) behavior unless use utf-7 (etc.) for display and then transcode when saving. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-7 - only worth doing for characters outside of the Base Multilingual Plane, not needed for utf-8 in the BMP.
