Splunk Encoding Issue with Not Sign (¬)

Hello,

I am trying to send some records to Splunk that are incorrectly getting written.

This is what the message looks like in Splunk: TERMID=\xACAAB
This is what the message should look like: TERMID=¬AAB

I cant seem to find a character set encoding that correctly displays the 'not' sign (¬). I believe that this is something that could be fixed by updating the props.conf file and changing the character set encoding.

I tried using the default UTF-8 encoding and was recommended to use LATIN1, but did not have any luck with either.

In Hex, this value is x’5F’

Any help or recommendations on how to properly resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
