HTML charset Attribute
The charset attribute in HTML specifies the character encoding of the document.
It is used in the meta tag in the head section of an HTML document to define the character encoding of the document.
To specify that the document is encoded in UTF-8.
you can use the following code in the head section of your HTML document:
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
The charset attribute is important because it tells the browser how to interpret the characters in the HTML document. If the character encoding is not specified or is specified incorrectly, the browser may display the text incorrectly or not at all.
UTF-8 Characters
UTF-8 (Unicode Transformation Format 8-bit) is a character encoding that can represent any character in the Unicode standard, which includes a wide range of characters from different languages and scripts.
Characters are represented by a variable number of 8-bit bytes. The first 128 characters (Unicode code points 0 to 127) are represented by a single byte, which is the same as the ASCII character set.
Some examples of UTF-8 characters include:
ais represented by the byte 0x61bis represented by the byte 0x62cis represented by the byte 0x63dis represented by the byte 0x64
Characters in the ASCII range (0 to 127) are represented by a single byte that is the same as their ASCII code. Therefore, the characters a to d are represented by a single byte each in UTF-8.
