No. It has to be ASCII data (or Unicode data, shortly). Other cases might work sometimes, but there are always going to be problems with 0 bytes, for example. Safest approach: use pickling or conversions such as base64or base96 to encode the results. There's also an open ticket somewhere to create a genuine BLOB field, but there were a few problems (from memory) with getting it to be truly portable.
