I know this has been asked a zillon times, but I read those zillon answers and nothing was useful to fix this particular issue.
This is a minimal model example of my issue:
The error was not on the CharField but while saving a related file (with the same name). I misunderstand the original error. Thank you everybody for the kind help :)
I'm using python 2.7, django 1.7 and postgres as DB backend. When I try to save the word "Resúmenes" as model "titulo", I get the nepharious
Exception Value:'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xfa'...
I understand django default is to use UTF-8 (and it's working like that in many other models) and I have not changed anything related. I verified DB is also using UTF-8 for the DB/tables/columns.
Any hint what may be going on?
EDIT: I'm using Django admin to create the object. The full traceback is this one:

Your traceback doesn't match your model definition. Traceback shows you have a FileField
somewhere.
In any case, it's suggested that you check your system locale and make sure it's set to UTF-8.

This should work, add this method to your model, and take away your original Unicode method.
