Colored Names Prevent Names

So I wanted ti see if I could join a game with a colored text. I changed my name to light green and tried to join my sister's world. It said "Invalid Name" so I went back to change my name back to a regular no-colored name. When I deleted it all, the blinking margin disappeared. Then I tried to put my Minecraft name back, but when I typed on my keyboard, nothing was being typed. This means that i cant join anyone's world because it says "Invalid name". Please, find a way so I can pit my name back without rebting and long restoring that I don't know how to do.

So how do I fix it? Please tell me.

Gage, the current temporary solution is to fix/replace your options.txt to correct the name or, if you can't do that, to uninstall and reinstall the app (this will not affect your singleplayer worlds, but you will have to reenter your servers). Please post any further comments on MCPE-8750 (which I've reopened) and vote for that issue to get it fixed sooner than other bugs.
