    What is charset=UTF-8 I am using:

    as my meta tag but I just chose UTF-8 radomly, I don't even know what it is, does it matter though?

    Thank you in advance.

    utf-8 is unicode text format, 8 bit. It is variable in length, so there are not alot of nulls floating about, is compatible with 8-bit mail systems, and is capable of many languages alphabets.

    It's probably the most universal of all the charsets, and is probably the best to use.
