From http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/api/#unicode

Jinja2 is using Unicode internally which means that you have to pass Unicode objects to the render function or bytestrings that only consist of ASCII characters.

So wherever you set result.result_str, you need to make it unicode, e.g.

result.result_str = unicode(my_string_variable, "utf8")

(If your bytes were utf8 encoded unicode)

or

result.result_str = u"my string"
