Question #241789 on Sikuli changed:

RaiMan posted a new comment:
Yes, that is the reason: what you get from clipboard is a utf-8 encoded
string, which is not yet handled correctly with the Jython currently
used in Sikuli.

So knowing, that the clipboard might contain non-ASCII characters
(usually utf-8), you have to use the encode('utf-8') function.

This might be handled more convenient in a future version of Sikuli
(together with a revision of the clipboard handling).

BTW: 
description = Env.getClipboard().encode('utf-8')

is sufficient, because Env.getClipboard() already returns a string.
