Description:
I have got 2 device. All of my devices using Windows 7SP1x86. My Workbench version is 5.2.44 but Workbench works on Windows 8x64. All of devices regional settings are Turkish (same details).One of Win7 devices has got MySQL Server 5.5.27 and other has got MySQL Server 5.5.28. I can back up and restore from 5.5.27 successfully but when i tried to restore with 5.5.28 (i haven't got problem while backing up) getting that error : 
Error executing task: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa3' in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)

----- Developer Notes -----

MySQL Workbench CE for Windows version 5.2.44  revision 9933
Configuration Directory: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench
Data Directory: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE
Cairo Version: 1.8.8
OS: Microsoft Windows 7  Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 32-bit
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31240 @ 3.30GHz, 1.0 GiB RAM

How to repeat:
I want to back up my database from 5.5.27 and restore to 5.5.28. I can back up but can't restore. I can restore with same dump file to 5.5.27 but 5.5.28 has problem.

I solved the problem. I have got some Unicode or special characters in my server password (as like "%&£½|>"). The problem has been solved after I changed my server password that password contains only English characters and numbers.

It is still a bug.  Unicode in passwords is valid!
