No, that’s not endianness; endianness refers to the ordering of bytes within a multi-byte value—least significant byte first or most significant byte first, generally. The order of octets in a UTF-8 code point is fixed, and because a bit is not an addressable unit of memory, the storage order of bits within an octet is immaterial.
