Special (French) characters in an ASP.NET MVC View

I have an asp.net mvc view, in witch i'm setting the value of a textbox using jQuery, as shown in the code bellow.

$("#idTxWhat").val('@ViewBag.myValue');

The problem is, if the value of ViewBag.myValue contains a special character like (é or è), the text is not shown correctly.

exemple : téléphone => t&#233 ;l&#233 ;phone

I tried the solution proposed in this question, but didn't work.

EDIT :

If I do the following :

<div id="myTestValue"></div>
...
$("#myTestValue").append('<span> my value : @ViewBag.myValue</span>');

The value appear correctly : téléphone

Thanks in avance.

You can use @Html.Raw(yourString)

Try this:

$("#idTxWhat").val($("<div>").html("@ViewBag.myValue").text());

Have you tried 

$("#idTxWhat").val(unescape('@ViewBag.myValue'));

SECOND TRY:

How about this then

var t = '@ViewBag.myValue';
t = decodeURIComponent(escape(t));
$("#idTxWhat").val(t);
