    <p>I have the string </p> <pre><code> u"Played Mirror's Edge\u2122" </code></pre> <p>Which should be shown as </p> <pre><code> Played Mirror's Edge™ </code></pre> <p>But that is another issue. My problem at hand is that I'm putting it in a model and then trying to save it to a database. AKA:</p> <pre><code>a = models.Achievement(name=u"Played Mirror's Edge\u2122") a.save() </code></pre> <p>And I'm getting :</p> <pre><code>'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2122' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128) </code></pre> <p>full stack trace (as requested) :</p> <pre><code>Traceback: File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response 86. response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/yourock/views/alias.py" in import_all 161. types.import_all(type, alias) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/yourock/types/types.py" in import_all 52. return modules[type].import_all(siteAlias, alias) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/yourock/types/xbox.py" in import_all 117. achiever = self.add_achievement(dict, siteAlias, alias) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/yourock/types/base_profile.py" in add_achievement 130. owner = siteAlias, File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/models/query.py" in get 304. num = len(clone) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/models/query.py" in __len__ 160. self._result_cache = list(self.iterator()) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/models/query.py" in iterator 275. for row in self.query.results_iter(): File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/models/sql/query.py" in results_iter 206. for rows in self.execute_sql(MULTI): File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/models/sql/query.py" in execute_sql 1734. cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/backends/util.py" in execute 19. return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/var/home/ptarjan/django/mysite/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py" in execute 83. return self.cursor.execute(query, args) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/MySQLdb/cursors.py" in execute 151. query = query % db.literal(args) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/MySQLdb/connections.py" in literal 247. return self.escape(o, self.encoders) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/MySQLdb/connections.py" in string_literal 180. return db.string_literal(obj) Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError at /import/xbox:bob Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2122' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128) </code></pre> <p>And the pertinant part of the model :</p> <pre><code>class Achievement(MyBaseModel): name = models.CharField(max_length=100, help_text="A human readable achievement name") </code></pre> <p>I'm using a MySQL backend with this in my settings.py</p> <pre><code>DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'utf-8' </code></pre> <p>So basically, how the heck should I deal with all this unicode stuff? I was hoping it would all "just work" if I stayed away from funny character sets and stuck to UTF8. Alas, it seems to not be just that easy.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
