Well, are these attributes/values proper in HTML5?
The element META is allowed with attribute http-equv in HTML5.
See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html#attr-meta-http-equiv-content-type
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html#attr-meta-http-equivAnd another question stays: why do certain browsers (version(s) of) handle those/my pages when they do not contain any metas at all?
Some browsers do have a default fallback, if charencoding is missing. Some browsers guess which encoding it could be. On some servers the correct encoding is send by a HTTP header. On some servers the incorrect encoding is send by a HTTP header.

But if I amend my htmls with that
charset- will those "good" browsers do not mind it? Like"Gosh! Master added a 'charset' - let me break then!"?

Well, they might mind or not.
You can trust me, i'm webdevoloper and have more or less bad experiences with browsers and websites over years

Well... then I'll investigate some more Russian sites' codes first... :rolleyes:
You mind?

You know, Angie, lots of Russian sites seem to be written not in HTML5 - whether it's HTML4.01 or XHTML (once I noticed).
And well, I've just come across two sites in a row written in HTML5 and having a Cyrillic title - one of them even mixed (and the latter is not even Russian, but Google's localised page).
Well, both of them have thatmeta: the former (Π―Π½Π΄Π΅ΠΊΡ) has it "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">", the Google one - "<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type">".So now I'm gonna try creating a test doc with this head element.

Angie, I added this line: "
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">"; now I'm having boxes there instead of letters(a new doc from one of those just by adding that).<abbr title="Add/editβ">β«</abbr>
You know what?
I just opened the code of this new one(with the boxes)and rewrote *the boxes* here in Opera, applied: the page has got looking just fine!
I don't know if it needs a messing with the fonts somehow...

For HTML it is irrelevant for char encoding if you have HTML5 or HTML 4.x or XHTML.
The problem with the "boxes" may be incorrect characters in HTML and wrong encoding (in HTML code or Server sent HTTP headers) or missng charcters in a used font for display in Opera.
But your texteditor should store the HTML file as UTF8!
Please show me a URL of such russian webpage which title is incorrect. I'll investigate.

Should I check that out?
Please show me a URL of such russian webpage which title is incorrect. I'll investigate.
You meant "Russian"?
Well, I don't seem to be able to: the titles themselves of those Russian (and localised) [online] sites/pages are nothing but correct - while mine have never been published yet (I only shared.htmlfiles in a group or two - you want that?). -

Yes, check if the content is stored as UTF. Which editor do you use? Notepad++?
No, its ok, if these pages are only local your own, you need not to show.

It wasn't.
I hadn't been advised on that, so I'd been leaving the default "ANSI" there. Now I tried resaving one of my oldest htmls changing that to "UTF8" - the doc overwrote itself successfully (I'll check that on one of the two "mixed-titled" later). -

Yes, I resaved those two - but you know what?
The recent test one where I inserted the<meta>, got boxes and then amended using my Opera('source code')- appeared (seemed) alreadyUTF-8now (means it was the only one for whose resaving my Windows already offered "UTF-8" as default - for others it did always seem "ANSI" being the default there). -

Thank you, Angie, for your "UTF" advice!
I just opened of theUTF-resaved documents in my Chrome: looks perfectly o'k!
Yeah - the other one too! :yes:
For you:

I guess it may be the case because they forgot to think about the fact that not everybody on Earth is strictly confined to the English language only*;)*

Hardly to explain for me, because my native/spoken language is not english, sorry.
HTML element kbd is used to markup text as keyboard input. That means in context for users or even reading programs: This text has to be logically interpreted as keyboard input.
HTML element samp is use for examples.
These two element are not used for optical text formatting, they are for logical structurizing content.
Other example:
h1 as HTML markup means: In HTML document structure this is a header of level 1 (=top-level)
It does not mean: This is a big text with bold letters.
