26721	Document redirecting dumpdata output may result in incorrect encoding in Windows PowerShell	OBu	David Smith	"When I ""dumpdata"" my database on my Windows 8.1 machine and load the dumped file with ""loaddata"", I get encoding errors.

[https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-users/NAHD058Gh_Q/discussion A django-users thread] describes the problem in detail so it seems I'm not alone...
