Django. How to change encoding from ascii to utf-8?

Question

Django

Python 3.5
Django 1.10
Making a POST request: Trying to display the received value: Getting an error:
description = request.POST.get('description', '')
print(description)

'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 93-98: ordinal not in range(128)

I tried to add in settings.py

DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'utf-8'

Tell me what to do?
Thanks

Answer 1

try like this
description.encode( "utf-8" , "ignore")

Answer 2

class Blog (models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, verbose_name="Все категории")

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

you can explicitly convert the type of the object to a string and get everything right!
