I am making unittests for a django app. I need some data in the database for my tests so I am using a json fixture.
I have two fixtures:
- for users and it works ok.
- for some webpages
The fixture 2 cause the following error:
Problem installing fixture 'C:\Users\luc\Dev\Hg\mnl-adminpub\website\fixtures\website-unittest.json': Traceback (most recent call last):

raise errorclass, errorvalue
OperationalError: (1366, "Incorrect string value: '\\xE2\\x80\\xA8<br...' for column 'html' at row 1")
I've created the fixture with dumpdata. I've tested it with loaddata and it works fine. I am using mysql.
Any idea of the possible cause of the problem?
Thanks for your help
