its because the meta data for a column which holds column name , type, size is using ascii string rather than 16 bit wide wstring - hence the name corruption. The column data is read with wide char set so data should be ok.

it is a problem in the cpp part of driver - it will go on the item list to fix

there is a candidate fix for this on master - not released to npm but there is binaries built for windows and linix (not yet alpine or macos).
