Can I send icons using radio function?

micro:bit
1

Hi,
I want to press a button (eg. A to send a smile and press B to send a frown) using the radio function. I know how to carry this out using strings but I want to use icons. Is this possible as I don’t see an option for send icon?

Hi

there is no direct send icon via radio block

The way i do this is to send a string ( Happy / sad for example ) to a remote Micro:Bit & then display the appropriate icon based on the string received…

here is a link to simple demo code for the Transmitting Micro:Bit

Let me know if this helps or not?
