Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a system that coordinates the positions on the Earth. This system divides the surface of the earth to sixty different zones.
Apparently it's not as universal as you think.

The metric system in universal around the world whereas the customary system is only used in the US. For this reason scientists and mathmeticians all use the metric system because it creates a sort of universal language so there is no translating.
Universal indicator is just that - an indicator. It is not intended as an accurate measurement system.
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
Easting along with northing are Cartesian coordinates for a geographic point. Easting refers to the eastward-measured distance (or x-coordinate). These coordinates are most commonly associated with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system.
The function of Cassini Soldner is to be a geographic coordinate system. It was used by Israel until it was replaced by the Israeli Transverse Mercator.

The Mercator system is a cylindrical map projection. It is essentially the shape of globe on a flat surface. It was first designed by mapmaker Gerardus Mercator in 1569.
