All working fine and have managed to add server side control aswell. The format of the topic in the channel of boring

In the script this parts tells what to message:
putserv "PRIVMSG $pwf_pickupchan :[pwf_txt teams1] $pwf_playernumber/$pwf_maxpl
and the format of pwf_txt teams1 is:
set pwf_reply(teams1) "2 Currently :3"
Now thats the boring part I want this format (just an example)
14,1[7«0 Pickup 7»14]14,1[7«0 Map to be played: de_dust

When I change to it the script no longer works.. i think the "«" is the problem. Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks for any help
