Unicode is common database for almost all characters. UTF-8 is an *encoding*
that allows you to represent any element of this character database as set
for 1,2,3 or 4 bytes. There are also other encoding e.g. like UTF16 that 
encode
an element in a different way....so we are talking about completely 
different things.
