The bug
Item tooltips still use the § character for formatting instead of text components. This causes the tooltips to render incorrectly when a right-to-left language is selected.
How to reproduce
Switch your language to any right-to-left language (eg, Arabic). Any language which displays with the parentheses on the right rather than the left in the language list should have this issue.
Grab a writable book.
Sign the book with any title.
→ Note that while signing,§s are visible.Hover over the signed book in your inventory.
→ Note that the§s are visible and coloration does not happen.

Can confirm for MC 1.12.1, basically every coloration using the § character in RTL languages doesn't seem to work.
This issue is still present while signing a written book in many languages, including Arabic. Seems to be fixed for tooltips though.
@@unknown, I have created MC-191579 now, I assume that is what you are describing. Please comment on that report in case you want to become the reporter and keep the report up to date.
Besides that bug, is anyone still experiencing this bug for tooltips?
