The bug
The book signing screen of writable books has broken formatting for right-to-left languages because it uses the legacy formatting codes:
The blinking cursor which is supposed to change colour instead shows a "0" and a "7"
The author's name is not gray and instead it shows an "8"

[media].
How to reproduce
Change the language to a right-to-left one, e.g. Arabic (first right-to-left language in the list)
Give yourself a book and quill
/give @s writable_book
Open the book and click the button for signing it (left button)
→ ❌ The formatting is broken as described above
