[MC-118165] Functions do not apply formatting codes correctly

Notepad++ automatic encoding detection bug

Since Notepad++ is commonly used when working with functions you should be aware that there is a bug which causes the encoding to become TIS-620 if your file contains the § character at the beginning of a line or with a space in front.

To prevent this bug from happening disable "Autodetect character encoding" in "Settings" > "Preferences..." > "MISC".

Items given through functions don't apply color or formatting codes correctly. Screenshots are provided below as to what happens.

Attach the function here.

I've attached the function.
The area I'm having the issue at is near the top, where I'm using /replaceitem commands. These were working just fine before I tried using functions.

Could please see if your function file is encoded correctly, it should use UTF-8 without BOM.

It was not encoded correctly. Sorry! The issue's fixed now.

Can someone explain me the diffrence between UTF-8 and UTF-8 without BOM?

BOM adds invisible characters, which break syntax.
