Upgrade the Google Application Engine program to use unicode

I

have a simple Google App Engine application that I wrote using plain strings. I realized I wanted it to handle unicode. Is there any pitfall in this? I’m thinking about all the strings I currently have in the live database. (Real users who come to self don’t want to bother.) )

Solution

Alexander Kojevnikov said: “The data is stored internally and all strings are kept in unicode.”

In other words, your application already uses Unicode everywhere. Thanks to the people at Google for providing a sensible API. No further work is required.
