Laravel FirePHPHandler encoding problem

[Sogl]

Hello!

Monolog library is used in Laravel framework by default. I did settings to integrate it with FirePHP console.
Docs:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/errors#custom-monolog-configuration

Lines from my bootstrap/app.php:

//my monolog configuration
$app->configureMonologUsing(function($monolog) {
    $monolog->setHandlers([new \Monolog\Handler\FirePHPHandler()]);

   //this line also works
   //$monolog->pushHandler(new \Monolog\Handler\FirePHPHandler());
});

My laravel.log becomes clear with this code.

OK. Let's send something:

Log::info("Something");

Output:

Works great.
But what happened if we put some Russian letters and other unicode symbols?

Log::info("Что-то");
Log::info("Odómetro");

Output:

Something wrong.

OK, disable our FirePHPHandler and refresh our page.
Output in laravel.log:

[2016-10-26 17:08:55] local.INFO: Что-то  
[2016-10-26 17:08:55] local.INFO: Odómetro  

Works as it should be.

What's wrong with FirePHPHandler?

Windows 7 x64

I would guess:

• either your page encoding is not set correctly (you should have a Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8 header)
• or you have the wrong encoding set in your php file calling Log::info
• or it's a bug in firebug..

The Firebug handler doesn't do anything special with the input so I am not sure what to say.

I have HTML5 <meta charset="UTF-8">, also tried with <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />.
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in .htacccess to be sure 😆

or you have the wrong encoding set in your php file calling Log::info

Set correctly. UTF8 without BOM.

or it's a bug in firebug..

Or in FirePHP. Issue created:
