Which encoding does Microsoft SSIS use to output flat files in Unicode?

Question

Hi,

In the Flat File Connection Manager screen there is a checkbox to specify that the file is encoded as Unicode, but there is no way to tell which encoding will be used (UTF-8, UTF-16, ...)

Is there an official Microsoft resource as to which encoding is used?

Kind regards

Answer 1

"Unicode" in Microsoft products tends to be UTF-16LE.
