UTF8 is a part of UNICODE, but as i'm not sure on how many bits is UNICODE,
how can i setup my local DB to UNICODE value as my provider has ?

As far a postgres is concerned, UTF8 is UNICODE. IIRC some versions
said one name, some the other, but they mean the same thing.

So maybe you have a different version than your provider?

Somewhere around release 8, the encoding "UTF8" was made to mean what "UNICODE" meant before. "Unicode" is not an encoding so "UTF-8" is the proper terminology.
