Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1038:
--------------------------------------

Each layout is different. The root of layouts that use a charset is 
{{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout}} and the default 
there is UTF-8.

Each layout that extends 
{{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout}} can provide its 
own default.

Which layout are you talking about?

>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Gili
>
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-255 states that the default 
> charset is the system default (a fact I confirmed by running local tests). 
> http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html incorrectly states 
> that the default charset is UTF-8.
> Please update the documentation to state that the default is the system 
> default and strongly recommend (in bold) that the user sets an explicit 
> charset.
