Hi Ayush,

You are very close with your meta code. Meta content always goes in the <head> of the document. Just delete some of the whitespace in there and that'll have it.

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

<body></body>
</html>

Hi Ayush, Please read the page in the link below that tells you why the charset is used.
