Answer 1

Try to define charset for encoder:

    ../logs/logback.log
    
        utf-8
        %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n
    

Sadly it's not described in documentation, but you can always lookup properties in source code. Specyfing instantize PatternLayoutEncoder. Going up to its parent LayoutWrappingEncoder you can find method setCharset(). When specified it is used, as you can see in http://logback.qos.ch/xref/ch/qos/logback/core/encoder/LayoutWrappingEncoder.html#120
