Here is my problem: I add a message to ModelError with addModelError(String.Empty,”My message”).
In my view I just call @Html.ValidationSummary().
The message is in German and the characters Ö, Ä, Ü are just shown as questionmark. How do I change that?

Could you show your web.config? – Darin Dimitrov Apr 18 '16 at 10:47

You can use Globalization . But have you tried with `HTML.Raw()` ? – Tushar Gupta Apr 18 '16 at 10:49

Html.Raw does not work. The message gets encoded before send to the view. – Sknecht Apr 18 '16 at 12:34

As I see it there are two options. One option is to write a custom validation summary helper which doesn't HTML encode the messages like described in the link that Kartikeya Khosla provided. Or, and that’s what I did, Just use the Unicode reference in the message string. The solution in Kartikeya is more elegant, but in my case it is a lot of code to change two characters. By the way here a link to look them up if anybody wants to do the same:
