django rest framework does not show utf8 words

According to the this post , i want to make a rest api for my android application . but when i wan give json from the django rest framework , it's not support utf8 words. this is screenshot :

enter image description here

this is my model :

    from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models
class News(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    created = models.DateTimeField('auto_now_add = True')
    active = models.BooleanField()

    def __str__(self):
        return  self.title.encode('utf8')

this is my view :

from django.shortcuts import render
from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework import permissions
from news.models import News
from news.serializers import NewsSerialzer

class NewsViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = News.objects.all()
    serializer_class = NewsSerialzer

and this is my serializers:

from news.models import News
from rest_framework import serializers

class NewsSerialzer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = News
        fields  = ('title' , 'active' , 'created')

i use django rest framework 3.3.2

Ensure that u assign correct encoding to http header so browser will recognize encoding of data. Example below show how u can identify it using Developer Tool in Firefox. Same tools exists in Chrome . If u clearly will not assign encoding in header then browser will try guest or use default to encode data from server.

The problem is with self.title.encode('utf8'). Seems like your are using python 2. The encode() function converts string to bytes. That's why title is getting weird. Since you are already importing unicode_literals from __future__, all the string will be unicode. Just return self.title that would solve the problem.. For more info https://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html
