You're actually not passing unicode strings to the function.  To
create a unicode string in Python, you prepend u to it.

This should be changed to create(u'\u4f7f\u7528').  If I do that, I
get a unicode string out of the create function using Jython 2.2.
Jython 2.1's implementation had a bug in it that allowed unicode
strings to be passed around in a byte string e.g. those created with
str or quotes with no u, and it had undefined behavior when converting
into real bytes.  This was fixed in 2.2.
