HTML <link> charset Attribute

The HTML <link> element's charset attribute specifies the character encoding for the linked resource, typically for external stylesheets or scripts. It was primarily used with links to external files, but it's now obsolete and rarely needed as encoding is usually specified directly in the file itself or through HTTP headers.
