meta is an element and UTF-8 is value. meta element is write in the head tag and it work for encoding the content type. eg. <meta charset="UTF-8"> UTF-8 encode is for Unicode. Unicode can work many languages. So if your html document contain other languages like japan, korea, china, etc, you will use UTF-8 encode. ASCII code is only English language.

UTF-8 basically allows us to use in our web page letters from different scripts such as Cyrillic, arabic and others.

meta is an element that represents meta data about the document. In this case, charset is the character encoding of the document, and by putting utf-8, we are setting it to Unicode.
