i cannot test it with mosquitto_pub command. But works like a charm with mqttexplorer, HA and NodeRed. Please test it again with MQTT explorer

thank you .. you are right .. it is a problem with mosquitto_pub. it doesn't transmit the sign: --> " <-- unless you add escape sequenzes like -m {\"text\":\"hello\ world\",\"icon\":\"1246\"}. a very strange behavior.
