The correct way is to put an utf-8 encoded bytestring into it, like
you did. settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET must be 'UTF-8', other settings
won't work.
Are forms involved into this anyhow? newforms puts unicode into the
models, and we currently have bugs with that.
If it doesn't work, please open a ticket, and include exactly what
you did to cause the bug, and the backtrace. {{{ and }}} around the
code and the backtrace will make look it "pretty". it would be even
better if you can give us a minimal testcase that demonstrates the
issue down to the point.
Hope that helps a bit,
Michael
