It may be that your syntax is just a bit off. Remember that programming languages are going to be very particular about the way you write your code. Your character encoding should be utf-8
in a meta
tag. You'll be using the charset
attribute, which is short for character set.
<meta charset="utf-8">
Hopefully that helps! Happy coding! :)
