Character encoding is a method of converting bytes into characters. To validate or display an HTML document properly, a program must choose a proper character encoding.
Use the <meta> element, to set the charset attribute and specify the character encoding for the HTML document −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset = "UTF-8"> </head> <body> <p>Click following link</p> <a href = "https://www.qries.com" target = "_self">Welcome to Qries</a> </body> </html>
