UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 347: ordinal not in range(128)

[anonymous]

Hi

I am trying to edit the SUBVERSION permissions in the Admin panel but I always get the below error.

I feel it will have to do with some character entered which might be causing this but Im not aware of were to look at.

Could you please help me on that?

The error details are below

Thanks

Oops…

Trac detected an internal error: 
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 347: ordinal not in range(128)
If you think this should work you can reproduce the problem, you should consider reporting this to the Trac team.

Before you do that, though, please first try searching for similar issues, as it is quite likely that this problem has been reported before. For questions about installation and configuration of Trac, please try the mailing list instead of filing a ticket.

Otherwise, please
