That's not really a meaningful statement.
UTF-8 and UTF-16 are ways of encoding Unicode codepoint values in a data
stream or file. You could take a file holding UTF-16 (or -8) -encoded
text and view it as binary or octal or decimal or hexadecimal octets,
or as 16-bit numbers, likewise of any numeric radix of your choosing,
and it would still be UTF-16 (or -8) -encoded Unicode text you were
viewing.
