UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

Question

When uploading files with non-ASCII characters I get UnicodeEncodeError:

Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError at /admin/studio/newsitem/add/
Exception Value: \         


        

Answer 1

After investigating this some more I found out that I hadn't set the charset in my main Nginx config file:

http {
  charset  utf-8;
}

By adding the above, the problem disappeared and I think that this is the correct way of handling this issue.
