For this test code, I am including the japanese characters right in,
but python was nice enough to warn me first time around when I forgot
to include the encoding. I'm using utf8 encoding, and I seem to be
able to manipulate these characters fine in other scripts. The
.encode() call should put in the appropriate escapes that are needed.

Thanks for checking though =)
