   @potiuk , I'll need some time to research on this to find the best solution. 
   As of now i was thinking to allow users to specify the desired encoding for task logs in airflow.cfg and use utf-8 as default in case users don't specify (only for reading/writing task logs). As far as i know, most systems stick well with utf-8. In the issue associated with this feature, the problem i noticed was that the system default was set to ANSI-1968(in my case, if i recollect the name properly). I feel not all users might be aware of this (including me till few days ago) and setting utf-8 as default shouldn't create a problem as all characters in day-day life are covered in it. I feel if this part is not standardized, it might continue to create problems like #16834 with various encodings.
