thank you for your reply.
well, i already tried to change of font, but still it won't take this index.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *
import tkFont
root = Tk()
myFont = tkFont.Font(size=24, family='Junicode')
w = Label(root, text=u'\u0254', font=myFont)
w.pack()
root.mainloop()
--------------------------------------------------------------------

you can find junicode on the web:
http://www.engl.virginia.edu/OE/junicode/junicode.html

for the code of the character I wanted to display :

by advance many thanks
vincent
