I'm not sure if this is a functionality or documentation bug. The docs say in section 13.1.2, Data stream format (http://docs.python.org/lib/node315.html): "By default, the pickle data format uses a printable ASCII representation." I took that to mean that only ASCII characters ever appear in the pickle output, but that's not true. >>> print [ord(c) for c in pickle.dumps(u'á')] [86, 225, 10, 112, 48, 10, 46]
