I got the following error when tried to add an entry to a Django model via generic relations.
django.utils.encoding.DjangoUnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb8 in position 24: unexpected code byte. You passed in 'ASL/60Styles_Timeless-3_\xb8 CaLe.asl' (<type 'str'>)
The model is like this:
class MD5(models.Model):
value = models.CharField(max_length=32, db_index=True)
filename = models.CharField(max_length=100)
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey()
Table's charset is utf8 and collation is utf8_general_ci.
Does it mean that the filename is not a valid utf8 string? How to fix this error or can we convert the invalid string to a valid format?
