Question

I’m using the MVC startup template and added mvcscaffolding. Everything worked fine, when all of a sudden some views started displaying swedish characters wrong. For example:

The file – Edit.cshtml – consists of:

@model TestApp.Models.TestViewModel

<h3>Å Ä Ö</h3>
@Html.Partial("_CreateOrEdit", Model)

The partial file – _CreateOrEdit.cshtml – only consists of:

@model TestApp.Models.TestViewModel

<h3>Å Ä Ö</h3>

The result is:

Å Ä Ö

Ã… Ä Ã

I have no idea even where to begin. The _Layout.cshtml contains only the standard (HTML 5) template (with meta charset=”utf-8″) , no changes.

One thing you can check:

Go into File->Advanced Save Options for the _CreateOrEdit.cshtml file, and double check that it has the same encoding as the Edit.cshtml file.
