Switch from UTF-16 to UTF-8 for ProtoBuf

I am making a program where i am serializing a lot of string data to a ProtoBuf file. I want to use UTF-8 rather than (what i think is) UTF-16. I have no idea how to do this or if it even is possible in any moderately easy way.
I am using Visual Studio Community and .NET 8.0
