HTML Charset


Different charsets include ASCII, ANSI, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, etc. ISO-8859-1 supports 256 different character codes. ASCII defined 128 different alphanumeric characters. The charset attribute in HTML is used with the <meta> to specify the character encoding.

Following is the syntax −

<meta charset="char_set">

Above, char_set is the character set to specify the character encoding of an HTML document. 

Let us now see an example to implement HTML character encoding −
