It sounds like "original" is not UTF-8 or Unicode, so you might want to
investigate that. However, non-ASCII characters have been pretty
thoroughly tested throughout Admin, including loading, saving and
viewing in change logs. So it's not universally broken and there's
something special about what you are doing.
If you do decided it's a problem in Django, please include a small
example (as small as possible) and the exact steps to reproduce the
problem -- it's not clear to me from the above description what you are
doing to cause the issue. It's also important to note which version of
Python you are using, as well as the database and the database encoding
(and databse backend in the case of mysql or postgresql, since there are
differences between the choices). I recently looked at another i18n bug
of yours that appears to have been only caused with Python 2.3 and that
sort of information is important to know when diagnosing these things.
