   No, "decoding" in Python means converting from str to unicode. Somewhere
(in UnicodeStringValidator in col.py) the string is decoded from str using
utf-8 charset, but the decoding fails.

   Of course. Setting "use_unicode" in DB URI changes every StringCol to
UnicodeCol.
   You can declare it StringCol explicitly, and then use only str, not
unicode.

   I doubt it. At the time the converter works unicode should be converted
to str already.

   UnicodeStringValidator.from_python() has converted it to str.
