Answer 1

meta means metadata ( data about data) of a webpage
charset means the character set used in the webpage

<meta charset="UTF-8" />
Here meta tag is the container for metadata. The metadata contained in this tag is the character set used in the page, so charset attribute is used. The value of charset is UTF-8, so it will be used for all characters within this page
