It can be done either in the MIME header (via the charset parameter), or
in a META tag in the header of the actual HTML document. Since so few
HTTP servers provide an easy way to append the charset parameter to a
MIME header, most people put in the META tag. It goes in the <HEAD>
section and looks like this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
All the major browsers will respect this tag.
