It's the canonical name of the encoding, both in the code and the docs.
regression=# create database e encoding 'utf-8';
CREATE DATABASE
regression=# \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
------------+----------+-----------
e | postgres | UNICODE
regression | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
(5 rows)
As soon as we decide whether the canonical name is "UTF8" or "UTF-8"
;-) we can fix it.
