copy files from a SharePoint library to my File Server and keep UTF-8

Hello friends,

Well, first of all, I apologize if the words seem out of order or strange. I don't speak English and I use the Online translator to help me.

Well, my situation is this...

Needed to copy files arriving in a SharePoint library to my File Server.

After that, move to another library in SharePoint itself...

When the file arrives at the first library, it has an encoding, UTF-8.

For this work, I decided to create a Flow. It works all right.

But when he "creates" the file on my File Server, he changes the encoding of the file to another

In the next step, which is when it moves between SharePoint libraries, the original encoding is preserved.

I notice that the step that makes the copy to the FS is a "create file" and I assume that's the problem.

The question is:
How can I guarantee that this file goes to my FS without the encoding being changed?

I've done some research and reading, including right here on the forum but I haven't found anything conclusive.

I would like to thank everyone for their attention and wish you all a good journey...

Big hug!

Good morning...

Well, first of all I apologize for the delay.

As for the indication, I say that I read it carefully. I repeated it and I even remember that I had already passed it at some point. Of all of them, it seems to me to be the most likely to succeed.

But I have a hard time understanding the construction process in Flow.

When I set up the variable collection step, the file content result becomes just this:

concat(uriComponentToString('%EF%BB%BF'),body('Create_CSV_table'))

I know it might sound like abuse, but I don't want that. A step by step would help to assemble but it would not be educational because I would not understand what happens and where I go wrong.

If you could somehow clarify where I was going wrong, it would be a lot of help, no doubt.

I really appreciate everyone's attention on this.

Big hug
Att
