Log UTF-8 characters in ColdFusion

Is it possible to get ColdFusion to log UTF-8 data (eg: Chinese characters) using <cflog>?

By default it just logs questions marks instead of the characters.

I know I could open/write/close the log file using the file API, but I'm don't want to over-complicate something as simple as logging.

You may also be able to set log4j.appender.LOGFILE.encoding=UTF-8 in ColdFusion's /lib/log4j.properties file and not affect the whole VM. Although if Adam's solution works, I'd not necessarily change it.

Yeah, but you need to tell your entire JVM to process files as UTF-8. You can do this via adding this to your java.args in jvm.config:

-Dfile.encoding=utf8

Reference.
