Check your message catalog entry.

The _(...) call replaces your unicode value with one from the message catalog (if available), and it is that message that throws this exception. Swapping the % and the preceding space would do this, for example:

>>> '►% (user)s, random text here @[%(friend_id)s] more random text ◄◄◄'.decode('utf-8') % {'user':u'foo', 'friend_id': u'bar'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
