The
@charset
at-rule allows you to designate a character set be used with an HTML document.
Note that the
@charset
at-rule can ONLY appear in an external style sheet file. It cannot appear inside a
style
element embedded inside an HTML document.
The W3C officially defines the character sets at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
.
The syntax for an at-rule is an @ symbol, followed immediately by an unique identifier, which in turn is followed by the block which contains content that is applied on a document level. The block syntax is either:
all content contained between a pair of curly brackets,
or is all content contained between the unique identifier and a semi-colon.
There are five at-rules:
@charset, @font-face, @import. @media,
and
@page
.
The mandatory
"charset
component is the name of the character set enclosed between a pair of double quotes.
For example, the character set for Arabic is designsted by:
Code:
@charset "ISO-8859-6"
