Comment (by wenzeslaus):

 Another possible traceback besides the one reported is:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/grass72/gui/wxpython/gis_set.py", line 531, in OnWizard
     grassdatabase=self.tgisdbase.GetValue())
   File "/usr/lib/grass72/gui/wxpython/location_wizard/wizard.py", line

 2486, in OnWizFinished
     current_gdb = grass.gisenv()['GISDBASE'].decode(sys.stdin.encoding)
 TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None
 }}}

 However, I cannot reproduce this issue on my machine. Unicode in GRASS GIS
 db path works. Can someone test it?

 If I set everything from `locale` to nothing, I get different error, but
 I'm not sure if that's even supposed to work (no encoding set but unicode
 in paths).
