Definition:
The charset attribute specifies the character encoding for the HTML document.
The "meta" is info in the head. charset = character set utf-8 is character encoding capable of encoding all characters on the web. It replaced ascii as the default character encoding. Because it is the default all modern browsers will use utf-8 without being explicitly told to do so.
What is Character Encoding?
ASCII was the first character encoding standard (also called character set). ASCII defined 128 different alphanumeric characters that could be used on the internet: numbers (0-9), English letters (A-Z), and some special characters like ! $ + - ( ) @ . ISO-8859-1 was the default character set for HTML 4. This character set also supported 256 different character codes.
ANSI (Windows-1252) was the original Windows character set. ANSI is identical to ISO-8859-1, except that ANSI has 32 extra characters.
Because ANSI and ISO-8859-1 were so limited, HTML 4 also supported UTF-8.
UTF-8 (Unicode) covers almost all of the characters and symbols in the world.
The default character encoding for HTML5 is UTF-8.
The HTML charset Attribute:
To display an HTML page correctly, a web browser must know the character set used in the page.
This is specified in the meta tag:
For HTML4:
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"
For HTML5:
meta charset="UTF-8"
