kolibri: DB backup utility doesn't handle unicode output from iterdump
Observed behavior
When running kolibri, if database backup runs, it returns an error saying that charmap codec cannot encode character ‘\u259’.
Expected behavior
Backup should be created without errors
User-facing consequences
Could prevent a usable backup from being created

@radinamatic beware that these are two different errors both caused by the
cp1252
encoding on Windows.The one with dbbackup/dbrestore can only be provoked either by changing versions so
dbbackup
is invoked automatically, or you can test it manually by runningkolibri manage dbbackup
