Describe your problem

Hello! I am trying to make a simple welcomer bot for my housing in hypixel. Right now, it does not respond to coloured text. The join text is $u &ehas entered the world. Also, there is no colon after the $u but the username is a different colour from "has entered the world" $u is the username, &e is yellow and $u can be any colour, depending on the player's rank. I want the bot to autorespond a custom message e.g. Hello, $u! Welcome to the housing!

Suggest a possible solution

I could do one response for every rank (colour). Idk if this is a function that I'm too dumb to know about or it is not a function but how do I make the bot recognise coloured text?
