Help? Set the character set for the page. This is what I typed - <meta charset = "utf-8">

Can someone help? I typed the code in per instruction and it's coming out wrong.

The Set the Character Set for the Page should look like this: <meta charset= "utf-8>

Inside the following: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset ="utf-8"> </head> <body></body> </html>

It's not working in the assessment.

Ideas?

Thank you!

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

The spacing between 'charset' and the '=' symbol is the thing that is causing the challenge to fail. Change that to the following and you should be good to go!

<meta charset="utf-8">
