What is `a UTF-8 input'?

In Emacs on the ISO-8859-1/UTF-8 terminal, I can input é by
C-\ ' e C-\ with the following configuration.

-- ~/.emacs -- 
(set-language-environment "Latin-1")
(setq default-input-method "latin-1-prefix")
(let (locale)
  (let ((vars '("LC_ALL" "LC_CTYPE" "LANG")))
    (while (and vars (not (setq locale (getenv (car vars)))))
      (setq vars (cdr vars))))
  (cond
   ((and (stringp locale)
	 (string-match "UTF-8\\>" locale))
    (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8))))
