Question

I want characters like ‘ø’ to be printed directly, but in the source ‘ø’ shows up as ø

If the output goes through Html.Encode() it won’t render the correct character, but ø

in the config I have

<globalization
  fileEncoding="utf-8"
  requestEncoding="utf-8"
  responseEncoding="utf-8"
  culture="nb-NO"
  uiCulture="nb-NO"
/>

Source:

<li><%: Html.ActionLink("Støvletter", "ListProducts", "Tag", new { tag = "Stovletter" }, null)%></li>

This outputs:

<li><a href="/Tag/Stovletter">St&#248;vletter</a></li>

But output should look like:

<li><a href="/Tag/Stovletter">Støvletter</a></li>

Answer 1

You could try to create output with <%= instead of html encoded <%:
