Answer 1

You can create a simple custom filter around urllib.unquote

For instance:

from django.template.defaultfilters import stringfilter
from urllib import unquote

@stringfilter
def unquote_raw(value):
    return unquote(value)

and now you can get this in your django template file:

{{ raw|unquote_raw }}

Answer 2

you need to write something like this instead of the previous answer, otherwise you will get the maximum recursion depth

from urllib import unquote

@register.filter
def unquote_new(value):
    return unquote(value)

{{raw | unquote_new}}
