    Once you have your unicode string ready, the request should end

    self.render("template.html", aString=aUnicodeString)

    This renders the file “template.html” setting the aString variable to aUnicodeString.

    template.html would look something like this:

    <html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
    </head>
    <body>
        {{aString}}
    </body>
</html>

    It’s also possible to inline the HTML in the Tornado server.

    self.render('<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /></head><body>{{aString}}</body></html>', aString=aUnicodeString)
