Unnecessary use of HTML character references may significantly reduce HTML readability. If the character encoding for a web page is chosen appropriately, then HTML character references are usually only required for markup delimiting characters as mentioned above, and for a few special characters (or none at all if a native Unicode encoding like ...
The meta element has two uses: either to emulate the use of an HTTP response header field, or to embed additional metadata within the HTML document. With HTML up to and including HTML 4.01 and XHTML, there were four valid attributes: content, http-equiv, name and scheme. Under HTML 5, charset has been added and scheme has been removed.
Web pages authored using HyperText Markup Language may contain multilingual text represented with the Unicode universal character set.Key to the relationship between Unicode and HTML is the relationship between the "document character set", which defines the set of characters that may be present in an HTML document and assigns numbers to them, and the "external character encoding", or "charset ...
UTF-8 is also the recommendation from the WHATWG for HTML and DOM specifications, and stating "UTF-8 encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of Unicode" [4] and the Internet Mail Consortium recommends that all e‑mail programs be able to display and create mail using UTF-8.
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8: Permanent RFC 9110: Date: The date and time that the message was sent (in "HTTP-date" format as defined by RFC 9110) Date: Tue, 15 Nov 1994 08:12:31 GMT: Permanent RFC 9110: Delta-Base: Specifies the delta-encoding entity tag of the response.

Additional attributes (such as type, which indicates the MIME type of the external entity, or the charset attribute, which indicates its encoding) Additional elements (such as link or meta in HTML and XHTML) within their own attributes; Standard pseudo-attributes in XML and XHTML (such as xml:lang, or xmlns and xmlns:* for namespace declarations).
A common media type parameter is charset, specifying the character set of the media type, where the value is from the IANA list of character set names. [6] If one is not specified, the media type of the data URI is assumed to be text/plain;charset=US-ASCII. An optional base64 extension base64, separated from the preceding part by a semicolon.
The < meta charset = "UTF-8" > tag is technically redundant when coming directly from a web server configured to send the character encoding in an HTTP header, though it becomes useful when the HTML response is saved in an .html file, cache, or web archive. [10]
