Thanks for your replies. Just to avoid any doubt, I'm using __unicode__ instead of __str__ and I'm using the latest development version of django (post unicode merge).

It's trying to render an object of the class 'my_project.offers.models.Offer', which contains, among other fields, a "name" field (that is models.CharField, which in some cases contains danish characters) and a picture field (that is models.ImageField). In the page I'm trying to render I display 1. a thumbnail of such image using the patch from http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4115 which is located in django.contrib.thumbnails. 2. the name of the picture/offer which may contain danish characters. Every time I reload the page, 6 offers objects are pulled randomly from all the available ones. If those objects contain a danish character in their name (like 'æ') then I get the UnicodeEncodeError (please, note the previous title of this post was UnicodeDecodeError while it's actually a UnicodeEncodeError). If the objects don't contain any danish character then I don't get any problem. If I print to a file the repr() of the object then I get the right danish characters. Only in the template rendering for some reason there is this problem. I'm using sqlite3 with the development server and python 2.5 Following are the information I had given before (which I repeat here for completeness) and the full traceback I get from the template error. Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position 27: ordinal not in range(128) Exception Location: C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\utils \encoding.py in force_unicode, line 39 Unicode error hint: The string that could not be encoded/decoded was: roanlæg Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\__init__.py" in render_node 754. result = node.render(context) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\defaulttags.py" in render 134. nodelist.append(node.render(context)) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\defaulttags.py" in render 134. nodelist.append(node.render(context)) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\loader_tags.py" in render 96. return self.template.render(context) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\__init__.py" in render 181. return self.nodelist.render(context) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\__init__.py" in render 739. return ''.join([force_unicode(b) for b in bits]) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\utils\encoding.py" in force_unicode 39. s = unicode(str(s), encoding, errors) UnicodeEncodeError at / 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position 27: ordinal not in range(128) I'm struggling with this problem from quite some time. Any help would be very appreciated.
