run this for example, and you'll see :

# vim: tabstop=4 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4
# vim: set fileencoding=utf-8 :
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import firebirdsql

TEST_DSN = 'localhost:/tmp/tmp.fdb'
TEST_USER = 'sysdba'
TEST_PASS = 'masterkey'
conn = firebirdsql.create_database(TEST_DSN, TEST_USER, TEST_PASS,
port=3050)

cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("select cast('A' as varchar(1)) from rdb$database")
for c in cur.fetchall():
print(c)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("select 'é à' from rdb$database")
for c in cur.fetchall():
print(c)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("select cast('À' as char(3) character set UTF8) from
rdb$database")
for c in cur.fetchall():
print(c)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("select cast('À ' as char(3) character set ISO8859_1) from
