     -8      Tells syslogd not to interfere with 8-bit data.  Normally syslogd
             will replace C1 control characters (ISO 8859 and Unicode
             characters) with their "M-x" equivalent.  Note, this option does
             not change the way syslogd alters control characters (see
             iscntrl(3)).  They will always be replaced with their "^x" equiv‐
             alent.
