I added a character set attribute for my meta tag yet the console keeps saying that I didn't. Please help?

Thanks.

I think the problem is your spaces. I got the correct answer by putting in this:

<meta charset="utf-8">

Let me know if that doesn't work

Thank you!

I also figured with a bit of tinkering that that might've been the case.
