29249	Make serializers consistently unicode by default.	hakib	Hasan Ramezani	"It is currently not (easily) possible to use the `dumpdata` managemet command on models with unicode data.
The JSON serializer used by dumpdata is not accepting the `ensure_ascii` argument used by `json.dumps` as an argument.

Since `ensure_ascii=True` is the default, I suggest adding a `--dont-ensure-ascii` flag to the `dumpdata` managemet command so it will be easier to use dumpdata with unicode.

{{{
./manage.py dumpdata app.model --dont-ensure-ascii
}}}

I'm not sure what are the implications on other serializers such as YAML, XML etc."	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	dev	Normal	fixed	dumpdata, unicode		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
