Unicode names support

If you are having problem with unicode related error, make sure to set your DB charset as utf8 in config.py

E.g. for mysql,
DB_ENGINE = 'mysql://user:pass@host:port/db?charset=utf8mb4'

for postgresql,
DB_ENGINE = 'postgresql://user:pass@host:port/db?client_encoding=utf8'

For MySQL, also make sure encoding is UTF-8 Unicode (utf8mb4) and Collation is utf8_general_ciin the following columns (and/or the whole database).
