I have to install reviewboard site using database with latin charset.
After I have installed, then change table charset to utf8.
This is my workaround for save text with chinese charater correctly.

This looks like it's actually a problem in the version of simplejson included with
Django. I don't think there's any workaround other than the one you stated.
