Page not showing up properly...What does this mean?

Hey so i followed along with the basic css course and just created a new page for my project went to look at the whole site and it's not showing correctly, i go into the firefox web console and it comes up with this:

"The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol."

I'm not too sure what i need to do here. i have the html5 doctype declaration.
