18430	CachedFilesMixin crashed when CSS files contains non-ascii utf-8 character	brantyoung	Danilo Bargen	"Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf0 in position 366: ordinal not in range(128)
}}}

Reproduce：

# save a css file that contains non-ascii utf-8 character (ie Chinese character):
{{{
.icon-link:before { content: ""错""; }
}}}
# set ``STATICFILES_STORAGE`` to any storage class that will involve CachedFilesMixin mixin
# run ``manage.py collectstatic``

Howto fix:

I relace following code:

{{{
content = original_file.read().decode
}}}

to:

{{{
content = original_file.read().decode('utf-8')
}}}

just worked as expected."	Bug	closed	contrib.staticfiles	1.4	Normal	fixed			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
