The unicode-major-minor character set types should be avoided in favour of the variant names, such as UTF-8.
In around 1999, an effort was made to deprecate the form you suggested. I don't know if it was successful; searches keep returning pre-1999 documents that recommend the form. 
To the OP: Save your document using the UTF-8 encoding then, as Twey suggested, make sure your server sends the following Content-Type header:
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
If you don't have control of the server (access to the configuration, or ability to use .htaccess files, or equivalent) and your host won't make the necessary changes for you, as a last resort you can include this in the HTML document itself using:
HTML Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
in the head element. However, if you do this then everything prior to that element must be written in 7-bit ASCII.
