Why do I get a UnicodeEncodeError when I try to start the Django server from under a virtual environment?

Question

Django

Running manage.py runserver in virtualenv results in this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'mbcs' codec can't encode characters in position 0--1: invalid character

Who can explain what the problem is and how to solve it?
Outside the virtual environment, the server is started .
