Could you ask your users to use share to send the source code?

[thinkberg]

The following code shows in the simulator: 123 (no + and no =)
The same happens on the device itself.

basic.forever(() => {
    basic.showNumber(1)
    basic.showString("+")
    basic.showNumber(2)
    basic.showString("=")
    basic.showNumber(3)
})

• and = are probably missing from the font

[thinkberg]

Try this: The + appears now.
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showNumber(1)
basic.showString(" + ")
basic.showNumber(2)
basic.showString("=")
basic.showNumber(3)
})

[thinkberg]

And here all the characters appear:

basic.forever(() => {
basic.showNumber(1)
basic.showString(" + ")
basic.showNumber(2)
basic.showString(" = ")
basic.showNumber(3)
})

It is not a missing character problem. We currently use the same font as the microbit.

I can't repro this anymore. Do let us know if you are able to repro

[guillaumejenkins]

This still repros and is a bad bug. It may also be impacting the hardware.
