I guess you know what you mean here, Jeremy, but just in case anybody
hits this in the archives: DEFAULT_CHARSET has nothing to do with the
internal bytestrings you pass to Django. It *only* affects the output
from the email generation and template generation functions. It's the
encoding used for text we send back to the user. You *must* use UTF-8
bytestrings or Unicode strings inside Django regardless of if
DEFAULT_CHARSET is set to "woolly-elephant" or anything. This is
documented in unicode.txt.

All your template files are going to have to be in the same encoding.
Django trusts FILE_CHARSET and it doesn't change.
