    Yes, we log the UTF-8 characters in log file, as we set the file
handler to utf-8 in the following line of code:
*   fh = logging.FileHandler(config.LOG_FILE, encoding='utf-8')*
    but with Arabic characters logger throws exception. Once we ignore the
exception, message will be displayed on GUI properly. I have verified the
encoding of both databases (Arabic one and maintenance DB) is same and it
is "UTF-8". One more observation when I run this with source code bug is
not reproducible, but when I run the installed version, it is
reproducible.
