title: pysqlite DatabaseError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory
body: <p>I am trying to insert a document string which I am reading through a csv file in to sqlite database which has characters like (children's), It  throws the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>DatabaseError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a
    text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory =
    str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your
    application to Unicode strings.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Before inserting the document I make sure I am converting the string to unistring .</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>unicode('Children's', 'unicode-escape')</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am  using Django ORM to save the data. Is there something I can do to get rid of this?</p>
