HtmlEncode with HTML entity name, is it possible?

Question

I am using the following method to HtmlEncode some text that it\'s in Spanish, like this:

string word = \"configuració         


        

Answer 1

HtmlEncode(word); does only encode ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1). Which means your input needs to be encoded in ISO 8859-1. The ó is not in the iso standard, you can try to use the AntiXss encoder:

Microsoft.Security.Application.AntiXss.HtmlEncode("ó"); 

or Microsoft.Security.Application.Encoder.HtmlEncode("ó");
