Does usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} specify the font to be size 8?
I don't think so, but just wanted to confirm.



And if it doesn't, how do I determine the fontsize of my document when given the following:



documentclass{article}
usepackage[margin=0.2in]{geometry}

setlengthparindent{0pt}
usepackage{listings}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{matrix,shapes,arrows,positioning,chains}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage{bbm}
usepackage{caption}
usepackage{caption}
usepackage{gensymb}
usepackage{physics}
usepackage{float}
usepackage{footnote}
usepackage{ragged2e}
usepackage{scrextend}
deffootnote{0em}{1.6em}{thefootnotemark.enskip}
usepackage{amsmath}
DeclareMathOperator*{argmax}{arg,max}
DeclareMathOperator*{argmin}{arg,min}
setlength{mathindent}{0pt}

UTF-8 or UTF8 is just a character encoding which has become the unicode standard nowadays. Specifying character encoding will declare which fonts to be used for printing characters. It does not have anything to do with the font size.



If you want to change the font size, you can write documentclass[12pt]{article} into the preamble.

    You could also mention the extarticle class, that supports font sizes ranging from 8pt to 20pt; whereas the standard classes like article have direct support only for three main sizes, namel 10pt (default), 11pt, and 12pt.
