Hello,

You can set the char encoding with the help of the "charset" property of 
the encoder referenced by your appender. Example:

<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
   <file>testFile.log</file>
   <append>true</append>

   <encoder>
     <charset>UTF-8</charset>
     <pattern>%-4r [%t] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
   </encoder>
</appender>

HTH,
