Little help with Broadcast message :p

Hey all, I've managed to change how /broadcast looks but get some strange letters before color change, here's a image of what's happening http://prntscr.com/6ovq8i any help would be great!

 

@Googled Don't directly add the color code, use the ChatColor class instead

 

If we could see your code that would be extremely helpful, and yes it is probably what
@Konato_K said.

 

Here's the code for the message
broadcast=§0[§4R§8ebel§4E§8mpire§0]§7 {0}

 

@Googled

ChatColor.COLOR + Message

 

@Googled Are you doing that from a config or code? If its a config try using the & symbol instead of §

 

@Googled Do you mean you changed it with Essentials? Like are you using Essentials for the command? If so, use /u00a7<code_here> instead of §<code_here>.
