You get this error when you try to use a Unicode string as just a
normal, non-wide string, and the Unicode string contains non-ASCII
characters.  In this case there is no "right" way for it be handled; you
have to make a conscious choice of how you want the conversion done.

This is mentioned in the FAQ.
