HTML	@charset sCharacterSet
Scripting	N/A

Possible Values

sCharacterSet

String that specifies the character set.

The rule has no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic properties.

Remarks

At most, you can use one @charsetin an external style sheet, and it must appear at the top of the file, not preceded by any characters. The @charset rule cannot be in an embedded style sheet.

Example

This example implements the @charset rule.
