Taiwanese characters cause unicode error in quote function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a point with description: 羅斯福路四段1號Taiwan ROC
2. Try to query the database.
3. The following error results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line

    handler.get(*groups)

'),geometry.type, quote(geometry.description,' '),geometry.timeStamp,
coordinates, altitudes,bbox))
  File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 1205, in quote
    res = map(safe_map.__getitem__, s)
KeyError: u'\u7f85'

The quote function doesn't seem to like unicode characters.

Fixed in r28 by encoding things in UTF-8. This fixes the python error, but 
shows the 
characters kind of funny. Not sure what best solution is for showing characters.
