Problems with Unicode Plane 1 characters on Windows

[Guest]

Hi all,

Why doesn't the following code work on Windows XP, although it works
on Linux (Ubuntu 6.06). Both versions are of Python are 2.4, and both
OSs are on the same PC.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: need a single Unicode character as parameter

The output should say:
MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL A

Thanks,
Edin
