The section signs (§) can't be inserted in command blocks. The pilcrows (¶) are markers for paragraphing sentences, as I just discovered when NBT-editing a book. The pilcrows, although you can put in command blocks and books, they

@NekoJonez No, what I meant is that you can't write in the section signs (§) into commandblocks. Of course, it still works if you can insert sectionsigns into /say text in commandblocks.

For the section sign it sorta duplicates this, no?
