I am trying to add the character attribute <meta charset = "utf-8"> however it is giving me an error

It is just telling me to remember to add the character attribute. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <meta charset = "utf-8">
  </head>
  <body>

  </body>
</html>

Hi,

Remove the spaces around your = and that should do it, e.g.

<meta charset = "utf-8">

should be:

<meta charset="utf-8">
