Although it could be a responsability for the app developer to properly encode all the strings his services might return, this can be solved within ladon by modifying the typeconverter.py (at /opt/amiga4gas/environments/env2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ladon/types/typeconverter.py) file at the function "to_unicode_string":

...

elif typ==PORTABLE_BYTES:
        #val = PORTABLE_STRING(val,self.encoding)
        #Fix for dealing with strange characters
        val = PORTABLE_STRING(val,self.encoding,errors='replace')
else:
        #val = PORTABLE_STRING(val)
        #Fix for dealing with strange characters
        val = PORTABLE_STRING(val,errors='replace')
