Special Characters turn to html code C#

In my web app, I am sending some strings from the server, and I am using them like this in my JS

var Texts = {
    FillAllFieldsError: '@Texts.FillAllFieldsError',
    PasswordChangeSuccess: '@Texts.PasswordChangeSuccess'
}

The strings which are coming from the server have some special characters like "Ø,Æ" etc.. They turn up into something with HTML code "forespørsel".

Does anybody know how to solve it? I am using utf-8 encoding

<meta charset="utf-8" />

This would be the safest way to do what you are trying to do:

var Texts = @Html.Raw(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new {
   Texts.FillAllFieldsError,
   Texts.PasswordChangeSuccess
});

^ use an anon object if you need to specify which properties to include

Or use an extension method like:

using Newtonsoft.Json;

public static class JavascriptExtensions {
   public static IHtmlString AsJavascript<T>(this T value) where T: class{
      return MvcHtmlString.Create(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value));
   }
}

Then in your view you could do this:

var Texts @Texts.AsJavascript();

Using @Html.Raw() is the correct approach.

I used this 

@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Texts.FillAllFieldsError))

and it worked.

Include System.Web in your project to use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(MSDN) to decode HTML-encoded strings.
