'''A,, b, ?'''

Did you include "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-" or similar?
Reassigning to Vincent for evaluation.

Can reproduce with
params={'text': '+-*/\'"[]()??$??<>^??@??=?%????&|?`???????~????{}\\??????'}
params={'text': '??????'},
Comment 4 Jenselme 2016-12-02 09:12:12 UTC 
If I include "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-" at the top of the file, the problem disappears. However, I write Python 3 and this header is not required any more. I'll look into it.
