I do not understand how to complete this. I haev added a <meta charset = "utf-8"> but it does not work

That's it

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML> 
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset= "utf-8">
  </head>

  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Hi Mohammed, The only problem I see is you have a space between the = sign and the quotes. Take out the space and you should be good to go.

<meta charset="utf-8"> //no space

Also, in your Doctype, most coders use lower case for html, it doesn't affect the site either way, just kind of the way the industry seems to being doing it.

Keep coding! Jason :)
