  <h1>UTF-8 Character Encoding</h1>
  <p>With <code>&lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;</code> in the head, special characters display correctly:</p>
  <p class=symbols>© 2026 · café · 日本語 · € · 😀</p>
  <p class=note>Place charset as the first element inside <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> so the browser knows how to decode the document immediately.</p>
