I have a quick question regarding the lang files of resourcepacks.
I am trying to make a resource pack with a colored name for some items. However, when I put §c in front of an item name, the item has a boxed question mark symbol followed by a c, probably stating that the section symbol is not readable. What's even stranger is that I have downloaded another resource pack with colored item names and placed the en_US.lang folder into my resource pack, and it showed colors fine. I have no clue as to why when I try making colors it doesn't work. Here are pictures of what's going on, and a link to the pastebin of the lang file, if that is necessary to help.
the item has a boxed question mark symbol followed by a c, probably stating that the section symbol is not readable.
You're likely saving encoded as ANSI, you should be saving as UTF-8 without BOM.

It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out.
I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

Thank you! I saved the document and changed the encoding from the default ANSI to UTF-8, I never even saw that
