Having a space there will prevent the tag from being recognized by the browser.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><meta charset="utf-5"></head> <body></body> </html>

This is not correct.
While this might get by the challenge, it's not actually correct. Tristan already had the correct charset name. "utf-5" is not a valid charset value.

There's a bug in the challenge checker.
You can also pass using: charset="moof", but that's not correct either.
Maksym's comment above shows the correct solution.
