1. No, you can create a student with: Student.objects.create(name="Foo Bar", school_id=2)
2. Not sure... I have a Django application here, and when I search for "è", it returns the restaurant "Les Deux Frères" without problems. Could be an encoding problem with your database or with your terminal or with Python. That's the problem with encoding issues: they take a lot of time to figure out and properly fix. Hope this helps.
