bstring.decode('utf-8')

In Python 3, a regular string is already a unicode string. You don't need to do any decoding when writing it to the display, RPLCD always wants unicode strings when writing text to the display.

(Note that I'm not aware of any LCD that supports hebrew characters.)

Thank you ^(y)
