Sikuli console debugging logging shows unreadable characters when logging key strokes

Example output:

"Executing open_session with the following parameters: {'session': 'Session'}

[log] CLICK on (67,101)
[log] CLICK on (169,133)
[log] TYPE ""
[log] TYPE ""
[log] Shift+TYPE ""
[log] TYPE ""
[log] Ctrl+TYPE "c"
[log] TYPE ""
[log] TYPE ""
[log] Shift+TYPE ""
[log] TYPE ""
[log] Ctrl+TYPE "c"
[log] TYPE ""
[log] CLICK on (12,178)
[log] TYPE ""

This output is captured by redirecting stdout/err to file when running command line using the sikuli scripts which turn utf logging on and debugging. Platform is linux using a Konsole or Jenkins.

Those odd characters are often things like Arrow keys and such. Is there anyway to get readable output without having to pull up tests to see what it is trying to do when there is an error?

Thanks for the help!
