It seems that running encoder.encode() on a latin1/latin9 string results
in, yes a bloody UnicodeDecodeError. Decode error on .encode()...
Really. This way the modification from non-unicode string to real
unicode appears to work better.
The strings (names) as stored in database should always be UTF-8;
whatever the display locale is, we then need to convert from the storage
encoding to session encoding. When making database queries with players
names in them, the names must be reconverted to UTF-8.

If the system (display) locale is UTF-8, there is no need to encode to
either direction. In fact, running the .encode() routine appears to
mangle a valid UTF-8 string to a worse condition, effectively breaking
it.
Issues Pokerstars when playing heads-up on ring games,
being both on button and small blind now supported
!!if not solved the winnings of the (button, small blind) is stored as rake!!
Post both small and big blind when re-entering ring games solved
The names are stored in UTF-8, so simply converting the name from UTF-8
to Configuration.LOCALE_ENCODING before putting the string in tooltip is
enough. Neat.
