Please give an example of your source data.
or try this \u00D2\u00BB\u00D4\u00C2 instead.

My OS env LANG=zh_CN.GBK 。 So i want to use Hex ,match MONTH in Chinese word. January 一月 (Chinese) GBK encode is "\xD2\xBB\xD4\xC2" But now ,I had convert charset from GBK to UTF-8 in Filebeat config file. And unicode regexp is OK。 My source data： 192.168.1 - - [11/一月/2017:09:25:42 +0800] "POST / At 2017-01-16 14:51:04, "Guy Boertje" <notifications@github.com> wrote: @glinuz Please give an example of your source data. or try this \u00D2\u00BB\u00D4\u00C2 instead. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

Great, I'm glad to hear this.
FYI, all strings in Logstash should be converted to unicode in an input.

If all is OK, please close this.
