You could not. Unicode is an abstract data type. It must be encoded

So use pickle.

Well, on second thought: don't use pickle.
If all you want to transfer is unicode strings (or normal strings)
it's safer to just encode them to, say, UTF-8, transfer
that octet stream across, and on the other side, decode the
UTF-8 octets back into a unicode string.
