ASP.NET MVC Html helper to format text

Question

My string is:

 string title = "CaSiO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; perovskite in diamond indicates the recycling of oceanic crust into the lower mantle."

I used @Html.Raw(title) and got

CaSiO<sub>3</sub> perovskite in diamond indicates the recycling of oceanic crust into the lower mantle.

How do I print it in view as:

CaSiO₃ perovskite in diamond indicates the recycling of oceanic crust into the lower mantle.

@Html.Raw(WebUtility.HtmlDecode(title)) will display the string in the format you want.

(But why is the string defined in that way in the first place? Why not define it with <sub></sub> and then just use @Html.Raw() ?)

Thanks. It works. I am working with PubMed API, that's how they format some of the data unfortunately.
