11.1.3 FromStringUsingUTF8 Method

Creates a binary data representation of the specified string, by encoding the string (into bytes) using UTF-8 encoding.

You would generally use this method when you need to create a binary representation of a string, as UTF-8 is capable of encoding all characters in Unicode, and it's backward compatible with ASCII.
