Describe the bug

Illegal character in status line setting. Using Airline.

Reproduce the bug

Using the recommended settings or the status line setting from help:

set statusline^=%{coc#status()}%{get(b:,'coc_current_function','')}
OR:
set statusline^=%{coc#status()}

When starting vim I get this error message:

E539: Illegal character <!>: statusline^=%{coc#status()}%{get(b:,'coc_current_function','')}

If not fixed on latest release, compile your vim with multi-byte support.
