Where is the equivalent of HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode in .Net Core 1.1?

Question

I have found myself in need of scrubbing javascript out of comments being added by users in a .Net Core MVC application. In previous frameworks, this could be achieved by first passing your string into JavaScriptStringEncode.

var comment = HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(model.Comment); 

However, I haven't been able to find the equivalent in .net core.
