change character encoding

I have a series of html files that I created long ago using ISO-8859-1. I need to change them to UTF-8 character encoding. I have 2 questions:1. How do I do that? 2. The files include the meta line that statescharset=ISO-8859-1 Does this need to be changed manually or will it automatically be changed to UTF-8? (I currently use the Arachnophilia html editor). Thank you.

More than likely you will need to change it manually. The preferred character encoding is utf-8.
Is it enough to change the meta line stating the encoding in the html code or does something else need to happen? Edited by htmlnewbie23

Your HTML editor should save the file itself as UTF-8. The <meta> tag is just there to tell the browser what encoding was used to save the file.
