Putting the Unicode character in your program is one thing, but what 
library functions you pass that data to is a factor, too.  Without 
knowing anything about matplotlib, my guess from the exception you 
quoted here is that the library is expecting ASCII characters below 128, 
so that function won't accept the special character.
