I have already set the character set, but am being told to add a character set attribute for my meta tag.

As stated above, I have set the character set but the challenge is telling me I have not.

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

In your meta tag take out the space after 'charset' and after the 'equal' sign and you should be good as gold. Hope that helps.

You have a space between the equals sign and the double quotes surrounding your character set declaration. It should look like this

<meta charset="utf-8">

get rid of the space and it should work.
