Must be an emoji outside the Basic Multiligual Plane (and most are) such

IDLE exits because of an uncaught exception in tk mainloop.  To see 
this, start IDLE in a console/terminal with 'python -m idlelib'. 
Techically, this is not a crash.  No consolation to the user.

This is a known issue https://bugs.python.org/issue13153.  Fix is not 
yet known.  I just tried the diff from a few years ago.  Same error.
