Trying to be a good web citizen I copied this<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>coding from WC3 to and made it the first line of my .html file.

I've since discovered though that placing it here makes ie 6 (7?) enter "quirks mode" and misbehave, specifically I discovered this with padding on images.

Scanning through old threads I found this as an alternative.<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I'm just wondering what sort of effect I can expect this to have.

I'm hoping none but before I change anything I'd just like to be sure there aren't any big scary monsters hiding in the closet or worse... Chuck Norris.
