---------------------------------------------+------------------------
Since `application/json` response ought to be encoded with `utf-8` charset
per spec [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#page-11 RFC 7159], they
should be decoded as such.
The problematic line is
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/test/client.py#L682
here]:
{{{#!python
response._json = json.loads(response.content.decode(),
**extra)
}}}
Which ought to be changed to:
{{{#!python
response._json = json.loads(response.content.decode('utf-8'),
**extra)
}}}
