It means that you haven't indicated what character set your page uses.

You can indicate the character set in various ways (as the
error-message listed):

(i.e. configure your webserver to send charset-information).

(i.e. add <?xml version="1.0" encoding="CHARSET"?>, where you put the
name of the charset your page is in, where is says 'CHARSET' ("utf-8"
or "iso-8859-1" or whatever you are using)).

> The HTML "META" element.

(i.e. add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=CHARSET"/> to the <head> of your page).
