Wow. Those statements are so all over the place, I don't even know where to begin. But I guess I'll start with: HTML is not a character encoding scheme, it's a markup language. HTML does include a character (entity) encoding scheme, but HTML entity encodings are not represented as a sequence of "bits", but rather as a sequence of characters and those charaters are usually encoded in, you guessed it, UTF-8.
