Nick Williams commented on LOG4J2-255:
--------------------------------------
Yes, Gary is completely right about Java's strings always being unicode.
I'm a bit confused here. My (admittedly limited) understanding of character
sets was that UTF-8 takes care of *everything*. English, Cyrillic, Korean,
Japanese, etc. should all be able to be properly represented using UTF-8.
That's why I'm a bit uncertain about why we can't always use UTF-8 for
*everything*. The only exception I can think of is /reading/ files, which would
have been created by something else (text editor, other program) and need to
have their encoding detected/specified. But why wouldn't UTF-8 work for
everything that Log4j writes/transmits?
