It isn't.

Valid UTF-8 character sequences start with one character in the range
0xC2-0xFD followed by one or more characters in the range
0x80-0xBF. Relatively few ISO-8859-1 strings found in practice are
also valid UTF-8.

In this case the representation in ISO-8859-1 is E6 F8 E5, which is
clearly not valid UTF-8.
