Important to specify the encoding for the page otherwise there is a risk your page may interpret incorrectly, example for any non-ascii type characters.

1. Not encoded characters ♤<~(() ¥€₩%#@#*&$#@ ☆¤▪○\~|><《¿¡¤▪~\< -> computer may read this code but you can not. 2. Character encoding utf-8 you are reading this because of correct character encoding -> you and computer can read this line . This is why we use meta character set utf-8 standared
