What version? As I see:

pg_dump -U postgres -d production -n utility -f utility_sch.sql

In utility_sch.sql:

CREATE SCHEMA utility;

I ask because the docs:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-pgdump.html

"Dump only schemas matching pattern; this selects both the schema
itself, and all its contained objects. "

support the idea that the schema definition is dumped.
