✅ JsonSerializer ignoring encoding options?

This issue has been driving me crazy for the last hour. I have a json object that includes a string with an apostrophe in it, however it keeps getting converted to a unicode code. After some reading I found this was the default behaviour for the serializer and can be overridden with encoder options, however I have been totally unable to override this behaviour for some reason. This is the dotnetfiddle snippet I've been testing with https://dotnetfiddle.net/7VZABE. Am I doing something wrong here?

@Ploot Doing

JsonSerializerOptions serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerOptions
        {
            Encoder = JavaScriptEncoder.UnsafeRelaxedJsonEscaping
        };

JsonSerializerOptions serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerOptions
        {
            Encoder = JavaScriptEncoder.UnsafeRelaxedJsonEscaping
        };

was the only way I could make it work there is a big red warning for doing this, however. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serialization/system-text-json/character-encoding#serialize-all-characters
