How to pass the -encoding parameter to the java compiler from within VS Code?

My Java program's source files are encoded in UTF-8. According to the documentation of the Java compiler:
If -encoding is not specified, the platform default converter is used.
I'm on Windows where the default encoding is cp 850, so I have to add -encoding UTF-8 to javac in order to avoid incorrect accented characters in the console output of my program. The program is displayed fine when I compile it from command-line this way.
However I can't find how to pass this parameter to the Java compiler from within VS Code. I have the Java Extension Pack installed. It provides the launch configuration parameter "args" which passes arguments to the program itself, but there's nothing in the documentation about how to pass parameters to the compiler. I would like this to be done automatically when I press "Run". Please help.
