Getting weird characters in logs while running Spring application on terminal

Question

I'm running a Java Spring application on my local machine and I'm getting two different kinds of logs depending upon where I run it. I've tried using different Terminal apps. Also tried different shells (zsh and bash), but the issue still remains. Running it via the IntelliJ Run tab produces normal logs like this (I'm using Java 16):

  .   ____          _            __ _ _

However when I run the code in terminal I'm receiving logs like this:

I'm using the same pom and properties file for both the runs so I don't understand what's making the difference between the two.

Answer 1

Try to run the jar file with file.encoding option:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar target/app-0.001-SNAPSHOT.jar
