I believe it's not the catenation, but rather the second of two
unicode() invocations getting an invalid character for the default
encoding:

>>> unicode('this an example language ') + unicode('español')
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>> unicode('this an example language ') + unicode('español', 'latin-1')
u'this an example language espa\xc3\xb1ol'
