Regarding UTF-8 and database queries.
Emil Ahlbäck
Recently me and a friend revived an old project, in hope that Django
will offer us a non-clusterf***y way to work, and it did. It's great,
I love it. :)
I have run into a problem though, after using google a bit for finding
information in the documentation I decided to turn here.
OK, so what I am doing now is to let the user register and give us his
real name there. Names like Friedrich or so are fine, but when there
are non-ANSI (correct term?) characters we're running into problems.
My name for example is Emil Ahlbäck, and what it does when I enter it
is to cut the name at "Ahlb" and just enter that part. Both my
database and all my tables are set to have utf8_unicode_ci collation,
which should be enough I hope? Displaying UTF-8 characters are no
problems, I already tried manipulating the record manually.
So, how should I accomplish this? I also tried using the u'' stuff, as
in user_object.last_name = self.clean_data[u'last_name'], but this
didn't change anything.
Thanks in advance, Emil.

don�t have any problems.
do you use the right content-type?
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
btw, that question should go to "django-users".

Emil Ahlbäck
about that.
If it's possible, perhaps an administrator could move it?

This is the start of our base.html, so that should be enough, no?
