Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Declare UTF-8 character encoding. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Declare UTF-8 character encoding Missing or incorrect charset causes mojibake (garbled text), broken special characters, and security vulnerabilities from character encoding attacks. ## Quick Reference - Add `<meta charset="UTF-8">` as the first element in <head> - Must appear within the first 1024 bytes of the document - UTF-8 supports all languages and special characters ## Check Verify that this HTML document declares UTF-8 character encoding in the head section and that it's positioned early in the document. ## Fix Add <meta charset="UTF-8"> as the first meta tag in the head section of the HTML document. ## Explain Explain why UTF-8 character encoding is essential for international content support and preventing character display issues. ## Code Review Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Declare UTF-8 character encoding. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule. --- For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see `references/rule.md`.

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/charset@sha256:c3ee71f870744b64The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
