There are two ways you could do this from the display control time
format:

Enclose any non format characters in single quotes

%time:yyyyMMdd hh:mm 'UTC'%

or, just add UTC after your time macro:

%time:yyyyMMdd hh:mm% UTC

If you want this to be the default time format, use the first construct
in the user preferences for the time format:

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss 'UTC'


Have a good weekend (I'm off to Florida to visit my folks).
