What do they get converted to? Is the data correct when you load it back in from the database, or is it already not what you expect by that point? If the data is being converted (or not converted) when it is coming back from the database, the results you are seeing could very well depend on the database backend, database encoding and the Python module you are using to interface to that backend (since there are two options for both MySQL and PostgreSQL). Using non-ASCII characters consistently throughout Django on trunk is a fairly fragile process, so you will need to be prepared to go a bit slowly and look carefully at a few things like this. It is exactly the reason we have been developing the Unicode branch and that will be merged with trunk soon (although that probably isn't an option for an existing product, since it tracks the trunk development, so has backwards-incompatibilities with the 0.96 release, for example).
