I am retrieving data from database which has special character §, When I set debugger on API, I see the value is with same character. I am sending back the response.

        public async Task<IActionResult> Get()
        {
            var retVal = ...
            return Json(retVal);
        }

Now on the browser when I check the network call i see on the response value coming as \u00A761 . And on UI it is displayed as
enter image description here Looks like its not able to encode the character properly.
I have meta tag on head section also

<meta charset="utf-8">

Any Idea what I might be missing?

    Seems like angular is not rendering the character correctly. Not my area of expertise, but posting the angular code would likely help. I did some research out of curiosity, and found a number of posts regarding displaying unicode character in angular bindings not working, worth looking into. – hijinxbassist Aug 12 '22 at 00:21
  • @hijinxbassist, you are right, i went on wrong direction, yes it was angular binding which was not working. I took help from this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31548311/angular-html-binding/41089093#41089093
    Thanks     – Amir Aug 12 '22 at 14:11
  • Note that only the `\u00a7` part is §. Basically, JSON of `\u00a761` represents text of §61. – Jon Skeet Apr 24 '23 at 07:24

 var retVal = @"\u00A761";

 string output = Regex.Unescape(retVal);
