html-encode

Say I have this piece of code:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: location,
    title: 'B&#250;fals',
    map: map
});

This creates a marker as expected but if I hover the mouse over it I don’t see 'Búfals'
as I would expect (instead I see the html code).

This doesn't make any difference:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: location,
    title: unescape('B&#250;fals'),
    map: map
});

Any ideas?

Thanks.
