How to pass Unicode title to matplotlib?
In Python3, there is no need to worry about all that troublesome UTF-8 problems.
One note that you will need to set a Unicode font before plotting.
matplotlib.rc('font', family='Arial')
Can't get the titles right in matplotlib: 
'technologieën in °C' gives: technologieÃn in ÃC
Possible solutions already tried:

u'technologieën in °C' doesn't work
neither does: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- at the beginning of the code-file.

Any solutions?
