The finding part seems to imply you use the Catalog. If so, that is right,
the Catalog only accepts standard ascii (as used for English). And in
general, python (the language Zope works with) does not handle unicode. All
this will probably change in the (not too far) future, but for now, there is
not much to be done about it I'm afraid.
