I had an issue with unicode a few weeks back and could solve it thanks
to the list, so it might help you to review this thread:

http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-September/161900.html

Partly that thread is about (Re)StructuredText, but don't let yourself
be thrown off by that.

You may want to check if your Python scripts do some explicit unicode
encoding, like this:

sometext = unicode(some_other_text,'iso-8859-1').encode('utf-8')

And you may have to change your Python's default encoding or have a
look at etc/zope.conf in your zope instance.

HTH,
