Non Ascii characters in Trac

[shubham_chakraborty@…]

My trac shows this error when trying to view Active Tickets report. This is maybe because i entered "non Ascii" characters in a new ticket with MYSQL dbin the backend. Please suggest a way around as all my tickets are going to include japanese characters. Is there a way to enter raw characters?? For the ticket in my trac, i translated english-japanese via google.

You didn't specify which Trac version you were using. I'd say 0.11, as r7286 should have fixed this issue.

Please upgrade to a later version (see TracDownload).

If you can reproduce this with a newer version, please reopen and show us the content of result (add some logging statements, e.g. self.log.critical('Before unicode error %r [%d]', result, col_idx)).

Likely a duplicate of #3908.
