Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-255: ------------------------------------- A couple of data points for testing and the record. - If I set the file appender charset to {{Shift-JIS}}, the file has the correct data when I view it in Notepad++ and Eclipse with the encoding to view the file also set to {{Shift-JIS}}. Using {{UTF-8}} in the viewer looks like junk. - If I set the file appender charset to {{UTF-8}}, the file has the correct data when I view it in Eclipse with the encoding to view the file also set to {{UTF-8}}. Using {{Shift-JIS}} in the viewer looks like junk. The above is good, no bug there. Windows lets you change code pages in a CMD console with the {{chcp}} command. For me though, {{chcp 932}} does not work, where {{932}} is the Windows code page number for {{Shift-JIS}}. Another tip is that you have to you a font in the CMD that is at least Lucinda Console for display certain chars. I tried to output and view UTF-8 on the CMD console without success. I tried, {{chcp 65001}}, no go. I tried {{cmd /U}}, no go. > Multi-byte character strings are scrambled in log output > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-255 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-255 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appenders, Core > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta6 > Reporter: Remko Popma > Assignee: Remko Popma > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0-beta7 > > > 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: > {code:xml} > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <configuration status="warn"> > <appenders> > <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT"> > <PatternLayout> > <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n > </pattern> > </PatternLayout> > </Console> > <File name="tracelog" fileName="trace-log.txt" immediateFlush="true" > append="false"> > <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level > %logger{36} - %msg%n"/> > </File> > </appenders> > > <loggers> > <root level="trace"> > <appender-ref ref="Console"/> > <appender-ref ref="tracelog"/> > </root> > </loggers> > </configuration> > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
