Encoding

Hello guys! I am a little confused with encoding. I know that ASCII stores 7-bits, so it can hold 2^7 = 128 different characters. But somewhere I read that ASCII can also hold 8-bits. Is that true? If yes, so that means that we can hold 2^8 = 255 different characters. So where is the difference from UTF-8?
