The file opens fine without the ¿ gremlins in BBEdit without any intervention on my part. And I can search it fine in BBEdit. What Console does differently , that I like, is that when I search it will filter the file so that it only shows log lines that have a matching word, and hides the rest. So when I search "error" it will hide 10,000 lines of irrelevant log content and just show me the 5 lines of errors. If BBEdit has a mode where it can hide lines that don't contain a match, then that would work too. I could dump Console and just use BBE for my log analysis tool. If I follow your suggestion and use Reopen Using Encoding Unicode (UTF-16, No BOM) it looks fine in BBEdit, but it doesn't actually change the file so Console will search it correctly. For that, I still have to do the steps I mentioned and actually do a destructive edit that removes the ¿'s then Save. Unless I'm just being dense, which is a possibility that I apologize in advance for.
