Contrary to your message subject, you are *not* joining "Unicode strings". Your resume_news contains at least one str (8-bit string) objects [probably all of them are str!]. You need to decode each str object into a unicode object, using whatever encoding is appropriate to that str object. When you do u''.join(sequence_including_str_objects), Python attempts to decode each str object using the default 'ascii' encoding ... this of course fails if there is a non-ASCII character in the str object.
