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)
