Issue with Japanese Character Display on Domino 14.5 Console

Issue Description:

In Domino 14.5, the Java version was upgraded to 21, changing the default JVM character encoding to UTF-8.

The Domino Server Console, however, still uses the legacy ANSI encoding (MS932 on Japanese systems) for its display.

This encoding mismatch causes Japanese text output to the console to be garbled.

Enhancement Request:

To fix this, please implement one of the following solutions:

  • Change the console's default display encoding to UTF-8.

  • Add an option to make the console's display encoding selectable (UTF-8 or ANSI).

  • Attach files
