Yeah, author seems to have made a mistake there. > Unicode is a large table mapping characters to numbers and the different UTF encodings specify how these numbers are encoded as bits.

I would guess this represents a confusion between the narrow abstract definition of Unicode versus the way it is casually used as an umbrella term which includes stuff like Transformation Formats.
