Log Messages no longer register certain characters in the UTF-8 format

Log messages created and displayed by puppet are no longer displaying certain characters in the UTF-8 format. Common symbols such as '@' and '#' are displayed fine but any character not native to the english language seems to be replaced with a variation of '\u

'.
The characters are shown and stored correctly when set as such, and the problem seems to be unique to information generated by puppet itself and after further attention it seems as though this problem originates from the puppet language itself.
Please view the attached file for an example of a set of reports where this problem has occurred.
