Nick Williams commented on LOG4J2-255:
--------------------------------------
I like that plan:
- XMLLayout and HTMLLayout default to UTF-8 if none specified, but allow
customization
- RFC5424 hard-coded to UTF-8 and does not allow customization (US-ASCII cannot
display Japanese and other characters, therefor we should just stick with UTF-8
here to avoid any possibility of problems)
- Other AbstractStringLayouts default to platform encoding if none specified
The SyslogLayout confuses me. RFC5424 /is/ "The Syslog Protocol," so why would
we need both Layouts? Either way, it appears that Syslog, being RFC5424,
requires either UTF-8 or US-ASCII, so I think it also should be hard-coded to
UTF-8.

> When I tried to log a Japanese string the output was scrambled in both the
> Console and a log file.
> For example,
> logger.warn("日本語テスト"); // (Japanese test)
> came out as
> 15:07:00.184 [main] WARN test.JapaneseTest - 譌･譛ｬ隱槭ユ繧ｹ繝?
> This is the log4j2.xml configuration:

> <configuration status="warn">
> <appenders>
> <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
> <PatternLayout>
