This is entirely up to you. However, all instances of UTF-8 that are
visible to the user should be exactly the five characters "UTF-8".

I just wish everyone would follow this. "less" uses "utf-8", vim uses
"utf-8" (but it accepts "UTF-8" as input). I guess it's ok if the
application interprets a specification liberally, but when it outputs
the information it should really be "UTF-8" I think.
