Ok. So, let's go back to my first question:
s = u'Hallo World' is unicode in python 2.x -> ok
s = 'Hallo World' how is encoded?

I am not 100% sure, but I think it depends on the encoding of your source file or the coding you specify. See PEP 263
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/

Well, the problem comes, i.e when i'm getting a string from an HTML form with POST. I don't and can't know the encoding, right? It depends on browser.

Right, but you can do something about it. Tell the browser, which encoding you are going to accept:

<form ... accept-charset="UTF-8">
...
</form>
