If you mean to set something like:
<meat http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
then yes it is rather important to have it. (Of course, define the correct
charset and correctly (for example not "utf8"), otherwise it is useless!)
It is much better to declare what charset is used that to let the HTML user
agent (for example browser) to guess what encoding is used. (Sure http:
transmit such information too when correctly set, but if the user saves the
file, then that information is lost.)
And anyway, HTML pages that do not validate with http://validator.w3.org are a
bad thing.
Have a nice day!
