Yes. See line 730 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
Why? I can't speak for Red Hat, but I for one support the move away
from the various, and rather limited, ISO-* character sets to the much
broader UTF-8 standard. For one thing, it's now the default shell
environment on RHEL/CentOS boxes. For another, it's (for me, at least)
a better output format for XML -> HTML transformations, especially
those that contain non-Latin characters like those in the Greek
alphabet.
