When I use Japanese as the filed name, the filed name garbled at the output phase in Logstash.

Elastic Stack（Logstash, Elasticsearch, Kibana） version: 5.6.5 and 6.1.3

expect: (dummy data)

> {  
> "性別" =\> "男性",  
> "address" =\> "神奈川県川崎市幸区",  
> "mail" =\> "ringusualflat@tall",  
> "年齢" =\> 28,  
> "職業­" =\> "歌手",  
> "message" =\> "{"timestamp":"2017-11-10 01:19:48 +0000 UTC","mail":"ringusualflat@tall","性別":"男性","年齢":28,"address":"神奈川県川崎市幸区","職業":"歌手","既婚":false,"course":"A01","option":[false,true,true]}",  
> "æ\u0097¢å©\u009A" =\> false,  
> "@timestamp" =\> 2017-11-10T01:19:48.000Z,

> [2] true

actual:

> {  
> "æ\u0080§å\u0088¥" =\> "男性",  
> "address" =\> "神奈川県川崎市幸区",  
> "mail" =\> "ringusualflat@tall",

There was no problem in Logstash 5.5.3.

Are there any changes in the settings from Logstash 5.6.x later?

regards
