UTF-8 support in custom tags

Hi,

I'm trying to write a custom tag that does a very simple action: sets
the value into a variable. E.g.
{% set variable %}The value{% endset %}

Here's the essential part of the code (omitting some details):

def set_tag(parser, token):
nodelist = parser.parse(("endset",))
parser.delete_first_token()
return SetValueNode(arg, nodelist)

class SetValueNode(template.Node):
def __init__(self, variable, nodelist):
self.variable = variable
self.nodelist = nodelist

def render(self, context):
context[self.variable] = self.nodelist.render(context)
return ""

Everything works great while I'm using ASCII symbols in a template
(between set and endset tokens). But once I add UTF-8 symbol I get

Caught an exception while rendering: ('charmap', u'\u041e
\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u044b: ', 0, 6, 'character maps to
<undefined>')

In a trace dump I noticed that this is UnicodeEncodeError, occurring
in "self.nodelist.render(context)".

Any ideas how to deal with it?
