i want it to do through code.

You can't really set it. You can tell the browser what it is through the
Content-Type header, e.g. "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 (that
is an HTTP header and not in the HTML code).
For standalone viewing (i.e. if the user saved the HTML to disk and
opens it from there, so no server is providing any header) there is the
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> tag
in the header.
Now how you set http headers or output html is completly depending on
your framework. Consult your documentation.
