SQL 2000 :: Which Flavor Unicode Is Used For Flat File Export?

[msnews.microsoft.com]

that my doubt, when I export a file using UNICODE for a third party tool, it
fails, if I open it with notepad and I save it as UTF-8, it works

so
- which flavor of unicode does SQL used ??
- is that possible to "force" it to UTF-8 ??

thanks in advance

(I try to search in google, no lack, the only thing I found, was somebody
asking the same like me without reply ...

picture is not much changed in 2005/2008.
