Set the character set. I followed exactly as in the video but still the wrong answer.

Thank you

Ah,it was hard to tell but when I did your <meta charset="utf-8”> right next to my <meta charset="utf-8"> I noticed something was wrong because your quotation marks were not the same, one of the marks was this” and the other one was this ” which was why you were not able to pass.All you have to do is change that ” to ”.

Here is what you are supposed to have :

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

</html>

Yeah. I'm not sure what you did. I just retyped it and it worked for me.

<!DOCTYPE html>

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

  <body>

I changed the quotation mark from " to ' then it worked fine.

Thanks again, guys.
