Server side code encode characters automatically when used in Javascript

I have an MVC Application wherein on page load I am initializing javascript function call with a Model value received from the server.

Something like this :

myFunction('@Model.ServerUnicodeCharacters');

Now, when I set to value

Model.ServerUnicodeCharacters = 'Côte d'Ivoire'

Inside javascript I get "C &#244 ;te d&#39 ;Ivoire"

(Intentionally added space before semicolon to show the output)

Is there any way to skip this character encoding which is default in ASP.NET MVC?

try replacing:

myFunction('@Model.ServerUnicodeCharacters');

with:

myFunction('@Html.Raw(Model.ServerUnicodeCharacters)');

Taken from MSDN:

The Razor syntax @ operator HTML-encodes text before rendering it to the HTTP response. This causes the text to be displayed as regular text in the web page instead of being interpreted as HTML markup.
