Custom URL scheme to open text in whatsapp from mobile browser, newline / line break not working
Question
I am using the following code: (jquery)
window.open("whatsapp://send?text=Hello World!")
To open and share a message from the mobile browser, this documentation can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/android/28000012
However, I'd like to add a 'newline' somewhere in the message.
I tried: \\n <br> <br/> <br> in the message but these do not seem to work properly.
\\n \\r only give me a "space" as well as +
<br> breaks the sentence off.
Anyone that can give me some insight into how I generate a linebreak in the whatsapp message from a (mobile) browser?
Really stuck here!

Based on the URL scheme I'm pretty sure that %0A is the way to go, you could go as far as %0A%0D...
window.open("whatsapp://send?text=Hello%20World!%0AAnother%20Word")
Most languages will have a method for URL encoding - see this website for an example implementation:
