Detailed Description

ConsoleAppender appends log events to stdout or stderr using a layout specified by the user.

The default target is stdout.

You can use fwide(stdout, 1) in your configuration code or use the cmake directive LOG4CXX_FORCE_WIDE_CONSOLE=ON when building Log4cxx to force Log4cxx to use fputws. If doing this ensure the cmake directive LOG4CXX_WCHAR_T is also enabled.
