The string you mention is encoded in ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15) : the special character é is encoded on one byte only, so it's not UTF-8. You're also making a confusion between Unicode and UTF-8. Unicode associates each character with an unique number, and UTF-8 allows to encode that number is a certain way. There are various way of encoding Unicode numbers (UTF-7, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, UCS-2, etc.). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode for more information.
