Unicode in PTL?

I'm in the beginning stages of developing an application with Quixote 2.
I'm trying to use Unicode in PTL templates, like this:

def foo[html](self):
    get_response().set_charset('utf8')
    u'\N{INFINITY}'

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The error log has a long traceback that
ends with this:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/http_response.py", line
223, in _encode_chunk
    return chunk.encode(self.charset)
TypeError: encode() argument 1 must be string, not htmltext

I know that Unicode support is pretty new in Quixote, so I'm hoping that
this problem just hasn't been noticed yet and will get fixed soon. Am I
correct?
