I read some data from a CSV and writing it to an empty MARCXMLRecord, then I write it out to XML. Is it normal for a record with Unicode characters like this to fail?

Reading the Template definition in serializer.py, I wonder if the template string shold be unicode. I found some other people for whom that was the culprit: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6038077/1333493
