(Get the code!)
The EC sysmeta metadata items, whose keys are unicode, are those derived from footers sent at end of EC frags[1]. The footers are serialized JSON and when the footer string is loaded in object server PUT path with json.loads() all key/value pairs are returned unicode (thats what JSON generates when parsing). The sysmeta from footers is then added to the object metadata[2], hence some unicode keys in metadata
Presumably, when serializing the metadata to send via ssync, once unicode is encountered by a join() then any ascii will be decoded to unicode assuming default ascii encoding and any non-ascii characters will then trigger an exception.
