Strip_tags and turkish chars

It seems strip_tags is stripping or converting certain turkish
characters like ü into weird special chars?

I have rich text which I want to show in tooltop.

I strip html tags using strip_tags as default browser tooltip show
html tags as tags. I am unable to use django template safe tag as data
goes from django view to xml to javascript.

Any ideas on how to fix?
