The <meta> Element

The <meta> element is also meta data. It can be used to specify encoding (character set) or other information about the HTML document.

HTML file:
<html>
  <head>
     <title>My first meta data</title>
     <meta>meta charset="UTF-8"</meta>
  </head>
  <body>

We will go more into the <meta>element later. Click here if you need info about encoding.
