Umlauts rendered incorrectly inside html attributes
Hello,

I have problems with encoding umlauts inside umbraco views when rendering them inside html attributes. All is okay when symbols are strings inside view. But when they are output from code (@) they don't render correctly. So outputing some German characters results to html/unicode encoded symbols. Standart Html.Raw, new HtmlString solutions doesn't help. I have tried to specify culture in web.config in umbraco admin to "de" - without any success. I have tried to recreate view inside MS Visual Studio and copied original content to check possible incorrect file encoding - without any success. So here is fragment of view:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Title</title>
    <meta name="description" content="@Html.Raw("für")" />
    <meta name="description" content="@(new HtmlString("für"))" />
    <meta name="description" content="für" />
</head>
```
this results in:
```
...
<meta name="description" content="f&#252;r" />
<meta name="description" content="f&#252;r" />
<meta name="description" content="für" />
```
The only solution that really works but is very ugly is:
```
@{
    ViewContext.Writer.Write("<meta name=\"description\" content=\"für\" />");
}
```
I am using Umbraco version 7.2.1 assembly: 1.0.5462.37503

Hi,

Try this :

@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Content));

But it's not problem of Umbraco ) It's just razor.

Thanks

Hello,

Strange because in Razor Html.Raw is enough. And it doesn't helps also (accidentally marked as solution and could not unmark):
```
<meta name="description" content="@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("für"))" />
```
results:
```
<meta name="description" content="f&#252;r" />
```

Hello,

results are form Chrome-view source. Markup is inside razor masterpage cshtml (but could be inside cshtml of view itself it doesn't metter). Please also note that
```
<meta name="description" content="@Html.Raw("für")" />
```
inside regular MVC project produces correct:
```
  <meta name="description" content="für" />
```
