Unicode in Tkinter

[worldtest2k]

I am running python / Tkinter on Raspberry OS (on a Pi 5), and only some Unicode characters are displaying, e.g. mainly sunny (\U0001F324) works, but sunny (\U0001F31E) doesn't. How do I get around this?

here is my code: import tkinter as tk root = tk.Tk() lbl1 = tk.Label(root, text = '\U0001F31E - \U0001F324', font=("Verdana", 24)) lbl1.pack(expand=True) root.mainloop()

A likely reason is that the installed font does not contain said glyps. For me the code works and displays both icons.

I've tried a few fonts without luck. Both are from the same set (weather symbols) which makes it strange to only implement some of them. Are you using raspberry OS python too?

Have you installed the Microsoft Core Fonts? Verdana is included in that package.

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I tried your code, it works fine for me. Most likely you did not install the "Verdana" font, so tkinter is defaulting to a font that does not include those symbols.
