Title: make sure to send strings marked as UTF-8

The unit test reproduced the error I was getting and the code fixes it. Looks like ASCII of the CQL statement plus UTF-8 of the data was getting marked as ASCII-8BIT. The string just needs to be marked at UTF-8 (actual bytes of the string are unchanged). I played with a fix to support general encodings, but it got messier and didn't work.
