Set the character set for this page question

I don't get it, this is the code that the video explains so why do I keep not getting it right? Question says 'set the character set for this page.' I wrote <meta charset ="utf-8">. What is wrong? This is frustrating.

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

  </head>

  <body>
  </body>


</html>

Theres a space after charset, it should be...

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