Cannot use non-ascii chars in workout title

[maciejla]

Hi, I'm creating the issue because it seems like only ASCII characters are accepted in the workout title field :( the error I got is:

2024/10/29 17:00:24 - fittrackee - ERROR - 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u0144' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

It would be awesome if you could support all unicode characters :)

Hi,

The issue may be related to system encoding or locale. Is the locale a non-UTF-8 locale?

Hi, unfortunately I don't think that's the issue. The OS is Debian 12 on LXC with the configuration as close to default as possible, so the locale was set to C:

root@fittrackee:~# cat /etc/default/locale 
LANG="C"

I changed that to en_US.UTF-8:

root@fittrackee:~# nano /etc/default/locale
root@fittrackee:~# nano /etc/locale.gen
root@fittrackee:~# locale-gen
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
root@fittrackee:~# reboot

after reboot:

root@fittrackee:~# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

however, the error still exists :(
