  Well I got the question, I already know that it's not possible via a t-sql query

  But what would be a good way be to deliver data from sql server 2008 database to an unknown rdbms system in utf-8

  it might be helpful ...

  Use SSIS to get data in csv or flat file and this is pretty simple or u can use export option also

  Open the file in Notepad++ and click Encoding->Convert to UTF-8.

  (Do not click Encode in UTF-8 because it won't actually convert the characters.)

  Create a new file in Notepad++ -> Go to Encoding -> Encode in UTF-8 -> Copy-paste the contents -> save the file as .csv
