It says django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1366, "Incorrect string value: '\\xD0\\xBD\\xD0\\xB0\\xD1\\x81...' for column 'name' at row 1") when I try to start any of my unittests.

I bet this issue is caused by my DB charset, which is UTF-8, but I have no idea how to fix that.

I use this answer to disable DB as a temporal solution, but I will need my DB in future.

did you tried use `unicode` function or use unicode literals? – Ivan Semochkin Aug 12 '16 at 13:21
@Baterson if you mean `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-`, it does not help – Viktor Aug 12 '16 at 13:23
no, I just look at your traceback and decide something wrong with value of `name`, maybe you saving it from external file. without `unicode(name)` – Ivan Semochkin Aug 12 '16 at 13:29
