This is a rather unclear description of the 'problems'. What unicode problems
are you having exactly where? Tracebacks? The issue is about using unicode in
object ids. Are you doing that?

This has special complications as ids appear in URLs, and 
that means they need to be encoded as I think URLs do not accept unicode 
but require a (subset of) ASCII (but I may be wrong).

Full issue url so that others don't have to hunt for it:

With unicode errors just like with any errors you need to be clear about
what the problem is. A unicode error is an indication of a bug somewhere;
it's not just some weirdness that can be suppressed, which seems to be the
way many people unfortunately treat them. There are almost certainly
multiple unicode related bugs in the Zope 3 codebase, and they need to
be identified, examined and fixed individually.
