Meta tag character set question concerning a challenge in Stage 2 of HTML First

In task 4 of 6 in "Stage 2 HTML First" I'm reminded to add a character set attribute for my meta tag. I don't know how.

Hi Josiah put the meta character attribute within the head tag. There are various different character sets like UTF-16,ISO and so on but UTF-8 is the most commonly used character set.

<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
