UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u0218' in position 0: character maps to

Hi,

I have a Django application where I have to update some personal data in a Firebird 2.5 DB with cp1250 encoding.
Yesterday I got some Internal Server Error while updating a person's first or last name when using Ș, ș, Ț, ț characters.

The error can be easily reproduced in python (2.7 and 3.4) shell:
>>> u'Ș'.encode('cp1250')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u0218' in position 0: character maps to <undefined>

How I can encode the mentioned characters in cp1250 to avoid this error? I must use the Firebird 2.5 with cp1250 encoding, so db change is not an option.

Thanks,
Zoltan
