I'm not sure too :-)

On a system with LANG=fr_FR, I run a Python interpreter:

>>> s = u"citoyennet\xe9"
>>> s
u'citoyennet\xe9'
>>> print s
citoyenneté

 -> It is displayed correctly.

>>> s.encode('utf-8')
'citoyennet\xc3\xa9'

And here we have the string encoded in utf-8.

>>> print s.encode('utf-8')
citoyenneté

 -> It is not displayed correctly

But even with that, I'm still not sure to understand completely. These
encodings issues are really tough to grasp.

Sincerly,

Thomas
