Use the English character equivalent for both uppercase and lowercase and they will get converted. For example, if your canvas has been created and stored in the variable "canvas_id", then the following will render similar to the screenshot below.

${canvas_id} create text  1.0 7.0 -font symbol -text "ABCD abcd"  -anchor nw
