Hello,

I'm trying to store strings with certain unicode characters that don't convert to ascii in the ZODB. Specifically, as a file object and as properties of that file object. I get the following errors (from a script):

Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'seek'

and

Error Type: UnicodeEncodeError
Error Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Is there a way to work around this? or do I need to use a relational DB to store the data? I'm on Zope 2.9.7

Thanks,

Thibaud
