Hi, folks!

Recently I've been working on this bug [1] and have found that default
encoding of database server used by FUEL infrastructure components
(Nailgun, OSTF, etc) is ascii. At least this is true for environment set up
via VirtualBox scripts. This situation may (and already does returning to
the bug) cause obfuscating problems when dealing with non-ascii string data
supplied by user such as names for nodes, clusters etc. Nailgun encodes
such data in UTF-8 before sending to the database so misinterpretation by
former while saving it is sure thing.

I wonder if we have such situation on all Fuel environments or only on
those set by VB scripts, because as for me it seems as pretty serious flaw
in our infrastructure. It would be great to have some comments from people
more competent in areas regarding to the matter.
