The token of a vocabulary term *cannot* be a unicode string and must be ASCII. 
In your scenario the default term implementation will not work and you have 
to provide your own, somehow escaping the value to an ASCII string.

Note that this requirement is well-documented in the interfaces of the 
vocabulary.
