well at last the problem is solved. i was up to dig into the od'ing everything on my way, but decided to try to mess with MySQL and it helped.
1. at first i did what Georgi Stanojevski suggested: To get mysql client in the console working with utf-8 (doesn't have
anything to do with Django) I have this in /etc/my.cnf: [client] . . default-character-set = utf8 [mysqld] . . character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci init_connect='set collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci;'
2. then i restarted the mysql server with (i use ubuntu): $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart 3. from mysql client mysql> alter table polls_choice convert to character set utf8; mysql> alter table polls_poll convert to character set utf8; and finally the input of cyrillic in the admin area started to work! the interesting fact is that in the same time running the SELECT statement from mysql client yields: mysql> select * from polls_choice; +----+---------+-------------+-------+ | id | poll_id | choice | votes | +----+---------+-------------+-------+ | 1 | 1 | ??? ????? | 0 | | 2 | 1 | ????? ????? | 0 | +----+---------+-------------+-------+ to output of question marks, which i suppose displays, that the client doesn't handle utf8. I want to thank all the people, who tried to help me. I will try my best to be helpful as well :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
