This only means that UTF8 is the encoding scheme that is (more or less officially) used for Unicode.
But at the origin it was designed to represent UCS and ISO 10646.
See "UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646" at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2279.html
Unicode is a layer over ISO 10646 since it also defined algorithms like bidirectional writing, line breaking, etc.
Just like ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is used to interchange information with non American people ;-))
