How to send clickable phone number via Telegram API?

Question

PHP

I'm trying to send an international phone number with "+" through the bot, but telegram overwrites "+" and the output in the group is a message with a number without a plus and, accordingly, it is not clickable. I tried to send a simple message 2 + 2, the result is 2 2. Please tell me, maybe someone knows how to solve this problem.
ps: if the message is sent by hand through the web version, then everything works and plus it does not go anywhere.

Answer 1

Did you run your text through the yurlencode before sending it?

Answer 2

Replace + with %2b
