"In this context" is still in the eye of the beholder.

I thought the context was that you were giving a formal definition of what UTF-8 is, and I quibbled with that.

You thought, I suppose, that you were describing UTF-8's use in unicode, with unicode assumed as the character set.

Why would you make this change?

I think both statements are true:

(1) "UTF-8 is a unicode encoding" - it is an encoding defined by the
unicode consortium as a part of the unicode standards, and

(2) "UTF-8 is a character encoding" - this encoding represents
[unicode] characters.

But I am not sure why you would want to replace the one phrasing with
the other, in this context.

Thanks,
