Description |
| character_set |
The character encoding of the linked document. Common values:
- UTF-8 - Character encoding for Unicode
- ISO-8859-1 - Character encoding for the Latin alphabet
In theory, any character encoding can be used, but no browser understands all of them. The more widely a
character encoding is used, the better the chance that a browser will understand it.
To view all available character encodings, go to our
Character sets reference.
