No it isn't. My original point is that Latin-1 is used very rarely on Internet and is being phased out. Now it's your turn to provide some references that a significant percentage of websites are omitting encoding (which is required by spec!) and using Latin-1. But if you insist, here is this quote: https://www.w3docs.com/learn-html/html-character-sets.html https://www.w3docs.com/learn-html/html-character-sets.html > UTF-8 is the default character encoding for HTML5. However, it was used to be different. ASCII was the character set before it. And the ISO-8859-1 was the default character set from HTML 2.0 till HTML 4.01. or another: https://www.dofactory.com/html/charset https://www.dofactory.com/html/charset > If a web page starts with <!DOCTYPE html> (which indicates HTML5), then the above meta tag is optional, because the default for HTML5 is UTF-8.
