What is the purpose of the "charset" attribute in the "meta" tag?

  • To create a redirect to another page. 
  • To define the character encoding for the document. 
  • To set the background color. 
  • To specify the viewport settings. 
The charset attribute in the tag defines the character encoding for the HTML document. Specifying the correct character set ensures that special or non-ASCII characters are displayed correctly in the browser. For most modern web pages, the preferred encoding is UTF-8, as it supports a wide range of characters from different languages and symbols.
