UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp949' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 9735: illegal multibyte sequence

[Hyogeun Kim]

Hi everyone

I got this error message "UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp949' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 9735: illegal multibyte sequence" when I write some data on admin site with Django 2.2

This is simple database model like this

class Bookmark(models.Model):
    url = models.URLField(max_length=500)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=500)

This looks to be https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30324, which will be fixed by 2.2.1 next week. 

(Please open a new ticket with full details if it is distinct.) 

If you set the `PYTHONIOENCODING` to utf8 before launching Python you shouldn't this. (Or related unicode errors)

Not actually sure this is sufficient. What IS the right way of setting the locale on Windows...?

Not sure if it's the only way but, on Windows 10 you can tick a "Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support", box in "Region & Language" - "Administrative" - "Change system locale" - "Region Settings".

This has a "beta" label next to it... 

After a reboot it adjusts `local.getpreferredencoding(False)` to `cp65001`, which the internets tell me is UTF8, which is what you want I think.

I think I have same problem like this https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30324, and I checked another Django version 1.11 and 2.1. and It works well.

thank you Carlton

PS: I tested on my Mac and I got this error message "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 9735: illegal multibyte sequence" and It works as well with version 1.11 and 2.1 on Mac

Yes. OK. It will depend on your system locale. There was an implicit assumption of something using UTF-8. Either way resolved in 2.2.1. 🙂

Please open a new ticket if something else comes up. 

Thanks!
