Hi Signe,

Try to see this similar subject on using special characters on razor

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/56068-Special-Characters-Problem-Only-on-Razor

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13451209/charset-utf-8-in-asp-net-for-special-turkish-characters

Hope this helps,

Hi Dennis

Thank you for your reply!

The Macro is definetly saved as UTF-8 and unfortunately it doesn't make a difference if its saved with or without BOM.

Could this maybe be a server setup thing? It's just weird because it does work most of the time.

I've been trying a few things and I'm really confused about this:

<meta name="description" content="@Html.Raw(Model.metaDescription)">

<title>@Html.Raw(Model.metaDescription) </title>

This is the exact same content, but in the meta description special characters are rendered as their HTML value, while the title looks exactly right.

UPDATE: The server's HTTP Response header is set to UTF-8 now too, but still no luck :(

Hi Signe

Did you ever find a solution on this subject?

I am struggeling with the same problem.

Hi René

No, unfortunately I didn't :(

I do hope you have more luck, but I think it might be a bug. Not sure though :)

Hi Signe

See the answer in this post which explains why you don't have to worry about this issue.

Hi Signe

You can also test how the Google search result will look like. Use the link below:

If you copy in this example in the meta description:

Test test æøå

Then it gives you the following Google search result:

Test test æøå

Hi René

So this means Google rendesrs the characters in the right way regardless? Sounds great :)

I am not assigned to the project that had these issues anymore, so unfortunately I cannot test it. But it's great to know if I ever run in to this problem again, thank you :)

Hi Signe

Yep that's correct. :-)
