When connecting to MySQL you need to specify which encoding you are going to use to get results and send data. Right now, Django's MySQL backend sets this to UTF8 when the server is MySQL 4.1 or higher. There are talks/posts which discuss to make this configurable. I think we need this ASAP. Anyway, check what character set your MySQL server is using right now: mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%'; In the client you need to do before you do anything else: mysql> SET NAMES 'latin1'; -- or whatever encoding you need, SHOW CHARACTER SET; In Django, in 0.91 this is done in django/core/db/backends/mysql.py. You will need change it there right now, or introduce DATABASE_ENCODING in your settings.py and use that.. Hope this helps.
