Comment:
Hi ideesnoires,
Thanks for your report though, the problem here isn't `assertContains()`,
it's json serialisation in Python:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#character-encodings
By default json.dumps() sets `ensure_ascii=True`. This should be false for
unicode.
Here's the correct way to respond with unicode:
{{{
def äuuuß(request):
return JsonResponse({"uml": "äuuuß"},
json_dumps_params={"ensure_ascii": False})
}}}
With that your test will pass :)
