Sadly not so :(

There are some places in Django that prohibit you from using utf8 (any
multibyte encoding in fact) - already mentioned admin's `last change`
list is one of those places.

For example, see contrib\admin\models.py, line 12:
   ..., object_repr[:200], ...

Unicode or plain ASCII str `object_repr` there would be fine. But
utf8-encoded `object_repr` easily becomes garbled.

Couldn't be said better:

Good luck!
