problems with unicode characters when saving log to file #3630
Description
Normal case
I have this very simple test which is just logging some unicode character:
test_log.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def test():
logger.info("Normal")
logger.info("\u251c")
logger.info("Also normal")
And when I run it using --log-cli-level=INFO then I get this terminal output, which is fine:
============================= test session starts =============================

Save to file
However, when I also run with --log-file=logoutput, this is what I get:
logoutput contents:
test_log.py 6 INFO Normal
test_log.py 8 INFO Also normal
So it seems that the lines with unicode characters are not getting printed in the log file, which is a problem.
