web2py understands POST requests that are either
- multipart/something
- application/json

that is coming from the content-type specified in the request itself. 
web2py behaves accordingly to the content-type.......json strings are 
unicode by default, so I really don't see the issue on having 
first_name=u'something' .... maybe the issue at hand is that the helper 
you'd like to use doesn't understand unicode "automagically", but that's 
another matter...
I think the issue at hand is that urlencode from urllib doesn't take 
unicode values as good ones........

maybe raise an issue on github: I see that unicode values in rewrite, 
request.args and such have already a few issues opened on them: this one 
for the vars should be in the same "family" fix.
