This looks like a problem with your database character set or collation. Take a look at how others have dealt with this before: [UI Framework Error while attempting to access registration app - #6 by isears](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/ui-framework-error-while-attempting-to-access-registration-app/8734/6)

And this: [Setting up OpenMRS Reference Application 2.8.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 - #5 by tansentim](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/setting-up-openmrs-reference-application-2-8-0-on-ubuntu-18-04/18889/5)
