I just tried utf8 encoded string and that works for me. Unfortunately the 
unicode fails and that is a bug.

As a workaround for now you can use
	
	unicode('Créations','iso-8859-1').encode('utf8')

unfortunately we had to choose one encoding for the string values and utf-8 does 
pretty well everything that unicode does so that got chosen.
