Well, this isn't Chinese -- at least not when it arrived at my
server, but probably not even when it originated with you, because
I see your headers advertise ISO-8859-1 as the encoding. It's plain
string that contains an assortment of ampersands, hash marks, semicolons
and numbers in an order that hasn't much meaning.

If you use _real_ unicode -- for instance 
 root.title(u'\u028A\u0288') # no chinese, because of lacking fonts, but IPA
then everything works fine -- at least, with my window manager, on my OS.
