Everything will work well?

You will get an exception at that point if someone has typed a non-latin1 string into your form. maybe thats what you want; handle the exception and report an error.

Or, will these unicode characters just have 8 bits removed?

field.encode('latin-1','replace') will change characters that dont fit in latin-1 into the ? character. -- Toby Dickenson
