Okay, braving up here. I am a newbie when it comes to char sets.
What is meant by UTF-8 ?

"utf-8" is an encoding scheme for Unicode and Unicode is something like a huge table which stores all possible types of characters.

With Unicode and Utf-8 (there're other encoding schemes, too), you can nearly mix up all types of characters in just one mail/text file/website/... like:

  α² + β² = γ² ← ∫₀¹x⋅dx ⋯ ∂x/∂y ⋯
