Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-255:
------------------------------------
Gary, that is absolutely incorrect. If I specify characters in the Japanese
encoding range of UTF-8 and you are running on a non-Japenese computer, odds
are you are going to end up with garbage. Now what you are saying would be
true on my Mac because it has a LANG setting of en_US.UTF-8 - so the display IS
actually capable of displaying all the characters. However, note that in this
case the default encoding would also be correct. But if my computer was set to
en_US.cp1252 the default encoding wouldn't work correctly, but neither would
the configured code page if I don't have that installed on my machine, and if
my computer screen can't render UTF-8 then there is no way to display any
Japanese characters.
