Hi, maybe not the most elegant method, but somehow you have to get to the contents of the file. In your View:

@inject Umbraco.Cms.Core.IO.MediaFileManager umbracoMediaFileManager;

@{
    string strSvg = String.Empty;
    IPublishedContent? svgIcon = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("SVGIcon");
    if (null != svgIcon)
    {
        svgIconUrl = svgIcon.Url();

        if (null != umbracoMediaFileManager && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(svgIconUrl))
        {
            if (0 == String.Compare(".svg", umbracoMediaFileManager.FileSystem.GetExtension(svgIconUrl), ignoreCase: true))
            {
                // maybe add a check if the file starts with <xml and contains a <svg>....</sgv>.
                try
                {
                    using (var stream = umbracoMediaFileManager.FileSystem.OpenFile(svgIconUrl))
                    {
                        using (var memStream = new MemoryStream())
                        {
                            stream.CopyTo(memStream);
                            var bytes = memStream.ToArray();
                            strSvg = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
                            // if there is e.g. <?xml ....> in front of the <svg tag, cut it out.
                            int intPosSvg = strSvg.IndexOf("<svg", comparisonType: StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
                            if (intPosSvg > 0)
                            {
                                strSvg = strSvg.Substring(intPosSvg);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    // ToDo error handling
                }
            }
            else
            {
                // ToDo error handling
            }
        }
    }
}
