I have copied he method for your reference.

function WriteLog(myText, Filename) {
try {
var myLog = new File(Filename);

if (myLog.exists) {
myLog.open("e");
myLog.seek(0, 2);
} else {
myLog.open("w");
}
myLog.writeln(myText);
myLog.close();
} catch (e) {}
}

Would it help to define the encoding of the log file as "UTF-8" ?

myLog.encoding = "UTF-8";

No, as this is in source code (although the problematic example line does not appear in the example source), it's a problem in the code editor.
