Correct way to express in English that a string is encoded ... using UTF-8 ... with UTF-8 ... in UTF-8?

>From The Unicode® Standard Version 12.0 – Core Specification:

"5.7 Compression
...
Encoding forms defined in Section 2.5, Encoding Forms, have different
storage characteris-
tics. For example, as long as text contains only characters from the
Basic Latin (ASCII)
block, it occupies the same amount of space whether it is encoded with
the UTF-8 or ASCII
codes. Conversely, text consisting of CJK ideographs encoded with
UTF-8 will require
more space than equivalent text encoded with UTF-16."

Hope this helps.
