vincent,

My understanding is that at present TkAqua cannot draw all Unicode
characters, but that Benjamin Riefenstahl has developed a patch (see message
below) to enable it to do so.  

I hope this helps,
Kind regards, Alastair

Unicode doesn't work satifactorily with the QuickDraw API used in the
current Tk source.

I wrote a patch for using ATSU instead, see
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12997&atid=312997&func=detail&aid=
638966> .
This implementation is slower than the QuickDraw based stuff in some
situations, so I am working on optimizations, before this can go into
CVS.  Unfortunately, optimizing and testing is going slow and I can
only devote limited time to it.

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

This should display an 'open o' of the IPA.
It happens to work with python from FINK (hence using x11) but I just 
can't get it to work on pythonw2.4/tcl-tk acqua. It will only display an 
empty square....
    

My guess is that the font you are using is missing the character in 
question. Try setting the font of the widget to something with a richer 
character set.
