    On the naming issue with a "UTF-8" prefix, I suggest "UTF+8" which puns earlier in the string for a double effect. Fun paper!

      Or UTF-∞

      If it's just a general Transformation Format and Unicode will never assign those code points, it'd be just TF-8. I can think of a second way to expand that abbreviation.
