Unicode Characters & Special Characters - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #51

How to use Unicode Characters and Special Characters with tKinter and Python. Using special characters in tKinter is super easy.

You just slap a u in front of the thing, then escape out with a backslash, and then type in the unicode characters, like so:

my_label = Label(root, text='41' + u'\u00A2').pack()

What does one do with the unicode \u221A (the sqrt symbol) in a calculator? It doesn’t function like modulo does when added the similar way that modulo is added.

Thank you so much! It helped me a lot!

Hi John, although your example with the degree symbol is working fine for me, I have problems when trying to include greek letters as text on a Tk widget. if I use, for instance, u'\u03b5' (which should give me an epsilon) all I get is the unicode code itself. Do you know if there is an extra package that tkinter needs to print some of the unicode characters?

hi there John...I wait for your tutorials eagerly and trust me, I've learned tkinter from you...
I've one request for you though, can you make your next tutorial explaining how to show table like data on to the tkinter gui with rows and colunmns, like database's fetched data on to the gui in table form so that it will be easy to read and understand?
please
