Hmm, I just checked, and Mozilla, which is essentially the same as Firefox, does the right thing, i.e. it displays crap without that line, and correct punctuation with it. Without it, your browser will use whatever is the default encoding for your platform and locale, which is bound to be CP1250 or similar under Windows and ISO-8859-1 or so under Linux.

I don't know how much HTML you know, so forgive me for perhaps stating the bleeding obvious, but the line must be placed between the <head> and </head> elements in the HTML, It won't work anywhere else. Directly behind the <head> is usually best, just look at the source html for this site for an example (Ctrl-U in Mozilla, I don't know what Firefox uses).
