SSIS: Code page goes back to 65001

Question

In an SSIS package that I\'m writing, I have a CSV file as a source. On the Connection Manager General page, it has 65001 as the Code page (I was testing something)

Answer 1

65001 Code page = Unicode (UTF-8)

Based on this Microsoft article (Flat File Connection Manager):

Code page
Specify the code page for non-Unicode text.

Also

You can configure the Flat File connection manager in the following ways:

Specify the file, locale, and code page to use. The locale is used to interpret locale-sensitive data such as dates, and the code page is used to convert string data to Unicode.

So when the flat file has a Unicode encoding:

• Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32

Then this property cannot be changed, it will always return to it original encoding.
