In general, you can use unicode, but you don't have to. You are not
obliged to use unicode.
In this particular case you have a str string from a file in an unknown
charset, certainly not in utf-8, so you cannot use utf-8 as the charset.
Probably for this column you don't need unicode at all.
Without unicode your options are:
-- use plain strings with StringCol;
-- use binary data with BLOBCol;
-- use complex data with PickleCol.
