10014	debug template tag fails in utf-8 encoded template	ledermann@…	Malcolm Tredinnick	"Using the {% debug %} template tag inside a UTF-8 encoded template file that contains non-ASCII characters fails with an encoding error. Interestingly, this occurs only if the debug tag is used within a block.

I have attached a minimal test case. If you save that file as UTF-8 and render the template with render_to_response('test.html'), you should be able to see the bug.

Removing the 'ä' character from the template /or/ moving the {% debug %} tag outside the block makes the bug disappear.

Stack trace of the bug:
