When trying to format the text with § symbol by renaming the default item name to the custom one in anvil, example: §r§eHello §r§2World it will show the right colored custom name in the preview window, but when you take it from anvil it will reset to ordinary default Minecraft text the only thing that stay is the custom name Hello World but not the colored version with § symbol §r§eHello §r§2World
To reproduce an issue
Craft or Take anvil from Creative inventory and get random item {for example dyed leather helmet} and try to it rename to §r§eHello §r§2World
Expected Result
Leather helmet will have custom straight yellow and dark green name
Actual Result
Leather helmet will lose it straight yellow and dark green name and only the name Hello World will stay
