Java Cloud function can't display non-ascii character

[ZinY]

Have a encoding problem for java cloud function in GCP, non ascii character can not be displayed, e.g.

public void accept(PubSubMessage message, Context context) throws Exception {

String text = "最近一篇来自 Blogto 的文章指出“;

logger.info(text) ;

}

Will give me ??????Blogto?????

I don't have this problem in local. Options tried but neither works

1.  Add below to maven properties

<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

2. Add env variable to `gcloud functions deploy` as described: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70824529/google-cloud-messaging-displays-special-characters-wron...

--set-build-env-vars=JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding="UTF-8"

3. Add system variable to mvn build before gcloud deploy.

Refernece: https://www.cloudhadoop.com/maven-character-encoding/

mvn -Dproject.build.sourceEncoding=UTF-8  ....

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi @ZinY,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

The issue is that the Java cloud function is not displaying non-ASCII characters properly. The solution is to set the output encoding of the JVM explicitly to UTF-8 using the System.setProperty() method, or set the encoding explicitly when creating the logger. It's also recommended to check if the PubSubMessage object is correctly encoded.

Thanks
