Unicode strings are represented differently in Python and Javascript.
So passing Python dict to javascript won't work correctly. You need to
convert it to JSON and put in the html page.
You can convert a python dict to JSON using:
import simplejson
d = {"name": u"\u0C05"}
json = simplejson.dumps(d)
