Most likely your host is serving this:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8


So if the host is serving this, this isn't something I can change when making a page, right? Obviously, I can change the meta but should I?


I know so little about this it scares me, so maybe someone better informed will jump in, but I'd say you should use a <meta> element to change the charset if you need to encode characters not included in the host's charset.

And no, you can't change the http header on the page, but that's what the Content-Type <meta> element is for, to change the content-type of the page from what the http header says.

We may be straying from practical-css, though. The List at evolt[1] would be a good place to ask the question again.
