All you've proved is that a UTF-8 character set header gets through 
(none of your message was other than the ASCII subset of Unicode).  You 
can't prove that everyone on the list has mail readers that understand 
UTF-8 and have suitable fonts available and selected .  You haven't even 
proved that the list is 8 bit clean.

Incidentally, when testing on live lists it is a good idea to explain 
exactly why you needed to do a test on the live list.  Actually, there 
was at least one other message in the current digest that tested UTF-8 
incidentally to being a real article and that one does have a character 
that is in neither ASCII nor ISO 8859/1 (U+2122).  This worked in both 
the digest and the qth.net web interface, with my viewers and fonts.

(The ASCII encoding of ASCII characters is identical to the UTF-8 
encoding of them.)
