So, I'm comfortable now, after sitting down and going through this, that the flat file connection manager is working correctly, unless you need a BOM. Note that for values over decimal 127, UTF-8 takes at least two bytes and up to four for the remaining values available. It just sees some bytes and tries to guess what the encoding might be. Input data built with a script component as a source (code at the bottom of this post) and with only one WSTR output column hooked to a flat file destination component:Ī string containing only decimal value 225 (german Eszett character - ß)Į1 0D 0A (which is the ANSI encoding of the decimal character value 225 (E1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A)Ĭ3 A1 0D 0A (which is the UTF-8 encoding of the decimal character value 225 (C3 A1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A) without -i: file umlaut-iso88591.txt: ISO-8859 text umlaut-mixed.txt: data umlaut-utf16.txt: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with no line terminators umlaut-utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text The file command has no idea of 'valid' or 'invalid'. What the flat file connection manager is doing correctly though, is encoding values that are over decimal 127/hex 7F in UTF-8 when the encoding of the connection manager is set to 65001 (UTF-8). Now if you're looking for UTF-8 with specifically the BOM included, and your data is all standard ASCII, the Flat File Connection Manager can't do that, it seems. That is, even if the file is "encoded" UTF-8, if your data is only ASCII values (decimal values 0-127, hex 00-7F), UTF-8 doesn't really serve a purpose over ANSI encoding. Currently, Encoding.UTF8 is returned, which is a UTF-8 encoding with BOM. Core doesn't support these legacy pages (by default) so its Encoding.Default must return an encoding that makes sense in a cross-platform world.

Unless there is a Byte-Order-Marker (BOM - hex file prefix: EF BB BF) at the beginning of the file, and unless your data contains non-ASCII characters, I'm unsure there is a technical difference in the files, Paul.

Encoding.Default in the full framework on Windows reports the legacy 'ANSI' code page (encoding).
