It's a bit tricky this one because from what I've seen you've got the correct syntax here,

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

Try to put the charset attribute as show here in capitals with no spaces. That's what passed the challenge for me. :)

Hi,

Replace this line:

  <meta charset = "utf-8">

with:

  <meta charset="utf-8">

Removing the spaces should sort it :)

EDIT Sorry, just realised Jonathan beat me to that one :)
