>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
>         Environment: Win8(Simplified Chinese), Tomcat 7
>            Reporter: Minglei Lee

> According to log4j2's manual about PatternLayout's charset attribute, if the 
> attribute is not specified, the default system Charset will be used.
> But in my environemnt (Win8 Simplified Chinese + Tomcat 7), if the attribute 
> is not specified, the Chinese words cannot display properly in console. If I 
> add charset="UTF-8" to <Console>'s <PatternLayout> element, the error still 
> exists. But if I modify it to charset="GBK", the problem can be resolved.
> So I think, The default charset is UTF-8, not the default system Charset as 
> the manual announced. I got the source file, and found it in PatternLayout's 
> Builder inner class: 
> private Charset charset = Charsets.UTF_8;
> I modify it to:
> private Charset charset = Charset.defaultCharset();
> and remove the charset attribute in XML's <PatternLayout> element, the 
> Chinese words can display properly as expected.
> So, I think it may be a bug and reported it here.
> Thanks!
