+=== I have issues with UTF-8 encoding/decoding ===
+
+On occasion, you may bump into the following error:
+{{{
+UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xXX in position i: unexpected code byte
+}}}
+
+This error usually shows up after one of the following events occurred: 
+ * you've imported an existing Trac database from an older Trac installation, 
+ * you've converter the database backend (from MySQL to SQLite, ...), 
+ * you've used a faulty Trac plugin
+
+See TracUnicode to find out how to convert a database archive.
