Multi-Select Script Runs in ISE, not on remote Hyper-V Server

Question

Hello All!
I've created  a powershell script to allow a user to launch one of several management tools on a Hyper-V server. The script runs fine in Powershell ISE on my system (none of the tools work, obviously) but when I run it on the remote server, these errors
come up:
At C:\Mgmt\MgmtSel.ps1:70 char:1
+ }
+ ~
Unexpected token '}' in expression or statement.
At C:\Mgmt\MgmtSel.ps1:72 char:1
+ }
+ ~
Unexpected token '}' in expression or statement.
At C:\Mgmt\MgmtSel.ps1:73 char:1
+ }
+ ~
Unexpected token '}' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParseException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken
When I paste it directly into the Powershell window, it runs fine. So strange! I know my brackets are correct, or it wouldn't run when pasted into the shell or in ISE. Anyway, any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you all for your time!
Here's the script:

How are you running the script on the server? Pasting into the ISE on the server, saving as a script and running it from the command line on the server? Or something else?
When you say you paste it into the PowerShell window and it runs fine, is this PowerShell window on your machine or the server? How are you pasting it (RDP? Teamviewer? VNC?).
It appears that some of the characters are not being saved/pasted correctly. You could try paste into notepad first and make sure all the characters are correct there, then select all and paste into the window on the server, or use noteapad to save the document
as a regular text file before copying to the server.
