"Unmappable character for encoding ASCII" when building a UTF-8 project

I found that I can successfully build if I add the following:

compileJava {
options.encoding = “UTF-8”
}

Great. Adding this option when using UTF-8 encoded source files is the right thing to do.

Still not sure why this is necessary since it isn’t used in a fresh Gradle project, but it did solve the issue.

I would always add this option if you have UTF-8 encoded source files.
