How can I create a website button to send SMS to a phone number?

I found solutions that make it so that when you click a button on a website, it refers to a phone number, and a user phone opens a dialer with the amount that was pre-filled so.

Instead, I want to open the sms user application in "compose message" mode for this particular number. Is there any way to do this? I tried the following approach, but it does not work on Android:

sms://1-516-400-6217

General format: <a href="sms:+919999999999?body=Hello World!">Link</a>

You can also add several numbers to the recipient list:
<a href="sms:+919999999999,+919999999990?body=Hello World!">Link</a>

I found that this works on my Android device as well:
<a href="sms://+919999999999?body=Hello%20World!">Single recipient and encoded body</a>

A small demonstration:

body {
  font-family: monospace;
  text-align: center;
}

a {
  font-size: 24px;
}

code {
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 26px;
  white-space: normal;
  word-break: break-word;
  background-color: lightgray;
  padding: 5px;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

h1 {
  margin-bottom: 5%;
}
