Poedit (https://poedit.net/) is a popular po file editor, and we recommend using it or another editor designed to edit
po files (especially on Windows).
+ There are several control characters within the messages. These are mostly IRC formatting codes (https://modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting)
+ but 0x1A is special to Anope and is used to prevent the automatic linewrapper from breaking messages in the middle of
+ text that should not be split (e.g. commands). Your editor may not show these so be careful you don't delete them!
