Question

My model:

class Course(models.Model):
    language = models.ForeignKey(Language)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, default=\'course\')
         


        

Answer 1

You can recreate "database" again:

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

or change config file. Open /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf and change:

character-set-server  = utf8
collation-server      = utf8_general_ci
