Draft: Add a test_default_branch method that has non ascii chars

What does this MR do and why?

In order to improve testing of areas where non ascii characters cause issues, let's make the default branch used in our tests use some non ascii chars.
This will help identify corners of the application where the use of such chars may cause issues or introduce failures.
