[Grok-dev] Re: Understanding unicode

[Sebastian Ware]

I was using SimpleVocabulary, but only after seing Uli's mail did I  
realise how to use the createTerm() method in order to add 'title' to  
the term. The fromItems() method was better documented in the source,  
so I used that one.

Changing the code to use createTerm() was easy as pie :)
