Good! that shows it's working.

Remember that this is a binary string, when you print it to the
console, you aren't going to see anything sensible. If you compare the
strings generated by the above molecules using ==, you will see that
they aren't the same.
So yes, it's safe to put in the database as long as you're putting it
in a blob column and you make sure to insert it in such a way that the
whole string gets added (not just up to the first \000).
