Comment (by nbruin):

 Unicode: See #12985. When I implemented `ecl.pyx` unicode support in ecl
 was not the default, so it was natural to skip it. I haven't kept up with
 its development, so I'm of little help for unicode-specific things. It
 looks like they got something close to working on #12985, though.

 Given that all of calculus is designed to work with `str`, not with
 `unicode`, I think there is very little benefit in converting the ecl
 interface in being fully unicode aware (other than not having to turn off
 unicode support when building ecl), so the approach there (letting ecl
 work with unicode strings but convert them to ascii as soon as they leave
 ecl) is probably the quickest to get going.
