UTF-8 is an encoding method of your document. It will store your socument in UTF-8, converts it back to the original document when used

it means that the browser will read your code in the language of UTF 8

Nope. There are other encryption methods such as UTF-16,ANSI,ASCII,etc

UTF-8 is not an encryption method, and isn't really a language either. Since computers only understand numbers, text encodings such as UTF-8 are mappings of characters we can use to numbers the computer can use. I recommend 2 specific articles to get you started understanding this. https://blog.codinghorror.com/there-aint-no-such-thing-as-plain-text/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/
