-------------------------------------

             Summary: CsvParameterLayout is inserting NUL character if data 
starts with {, (, [ or "
                 Key: LOG4J2-1502
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1502
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Layouts
    Affects Versions: 2.6.2
            Reporter: Sumit Singhal


I am using CsvParameterLayout to generate a CSV file out of log4j2. One of the 
column is a JSON string. Following is the logger method I am using:

logger.info("log:{}",json);

Following is the JSON string:

{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}

And following is the string which is getting printed in CSV output file:

 NUL{"id":10,"name":"sumit"}NUL

The NUL character is the \x00 character. When I open the file in notepad++, 
then only this character appears. In notepad it shows as space. This poses a 
problem in CSV processing module.

If there is some alphabet before {, then the output in CSV is fine. It seems as 
if log4j is escaping '{' with a NUL character. It is happening if the string 
starts with {, (, [, ' or ".
