I mean. Are you expecting to see something on a webpage after you run that? Do you get any errors? What is your expected response from this code?

Hi,

It appears you left out the hyphen in

<meta charset = "UTF 8">

The correct syntax is:

<meta charset="utf-8">

Correct Html:

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