django.db.utils.OperationalError: near 񐁂򐁇N: syntax error

Question

So I have a centos 6.6 on ec2. Installed python 2.7, virtualenv for 2.7, pip-2.7 and created a virtualenv install with my pip inside by virtualenv (2.7 all, promise) django 1.7.1

startproject works. I have my project. but: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080 / python manage.py migrate and everything that use manage.py gets this error:

Performing system checks...

django.db.utils.OperationalError: near "񐁂򐁇N": syntax error

I have no idea why this keeps happening. uninstalled & re-installed all but this error would stay anyway. Google keeps suggesting south install / vagrant but I don't use them now.

Someone know what this thing is about?

BTW: which python : /opt/webapps/env/bin/python

which pip : /opt/webapps/env/bin/pip

all in virtualenv in the right place and --version should 2.7

django.db.utils.OperationalError occures when validation of one of migrations failed. So, you should check all migrations of your project for incorrect SQL-syntax ("񐁂򐁇N").
