You don't currently.  Tk is still based on QuickDraw text rendering,
and the way this is implemented, only the characters from the default
encoding (usually MacRoman) work reliably.

If you are willing to compile your own Tk, you can try the Unicode
text rendering on patch from
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12997&atid=312997&func=detail&aid=638966>.
