So, I have to make an embedded style sheet, I just made an external style sheet, worked out great. the next part of the assignment is the embedded style sheet. my teacher is a jerk and will not answer ANY of my questions with an answer, if I ask, he tells me I should be reading the book, I have read through the chapter 2 times and I typed/copied everything it says to put in, but when I validate it, it comes up with an error. I did it EXACTLY how it says in the book. here is the html that I typed (not all of it, this is just the doctype and the head, with the embedded style tag (it is empty because I thought that the css that I put in it might have been wrong, but still while it is empty, it catches the error)

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">
<head>
<meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = "text/html; charset = UTF-8" />
<title>Lesson 6 CSS Practice Page</title>

<style TYPE="text/css">

</style>

</head>

and here is the error that I get when i try to validate it:

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 8 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\x93" does not map to Unicode

what the heck does that mean? =\
