1. Simulink signals can only be numbers. Strings are not supported.

2. If the need to send characters over serial RS-232 then the right thing to do is use the ASCII equivalent of the characters.

Regardless, you cannot send a character on a Simulink signal line. Do accept the answers if they are helpful so that others may benefit by the same.
