working with unicodeFormattedText

[Dr. Hawkins]

I'm still wrapping my head around this.  If I have non-unicode, should I be
able to write,

  put the unicodeFormattedText of fld "myField" into myData

I'm doing this before working with the database, but I still get

  ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xd0 0x20
