You should at least check that you do declare the encoding in
a <meta> tag,
and that it is correct.
Although it's best to also send the correct HTTP header to specify
the document's encoding (otherwise it's the weird situation in which a
browser needs to start receiving the document, then find out via the
META what encoding it's in...which can cause problems in edge cases,
if I remember correctly). Of course, the header and the META should
not contradict each other either.
If you are using META providing charset info, put it immediately after
the HEAD element, to not not make
this construct more weird than necessarily. Even if using HTTP headers
is the first choice,
including the META tag can prove useful for people saving the page for
offline use,
as HTTP headers are usually not saved with the page. I always use both
methods.
