How to send Bluetooth data from ESP32 in arduino?

Easy to handle received data with BLE but can't send data.

I'm using ESP32 BLE Uart code.
It's easy to get data from RxCharateristic but I don't know how to send data.
I'm trying to use TxCharacteristic to send data with BLE.

#include <BLEDevice.h>
#include <BLEServer.h>
#include <BLEUtils.h>
#include <BLE2902.h>

BLEServer *pServer = NULL;
BLECharacteristic * pTxCharacteristic;
bool deviceConnected = false;
bool oldDeviceConnected = false;
uint8_t txValue = 0;

// See the following for generating UUIDs:
// https://www.uuidgenerator.net/

#define SERVICE_UUID           "6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E" // UART service UUID
#define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_RX "6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E"
#define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_TX "6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E"


class MyServerCallbacks: public BLEServerCallbacks {
    void onConnect(BLEServer* pServer) {
      deviceConnected = true;
    };

    void onDisconnect(BLEServer* pServer) {
      deviceConnected = false;
    }
};

class MyCallbacks: public BLECharacteristicCallbacks {
    void onWrite(BLECharacteristic *pCharacteristic) {
      std::string rxValue = pCharacteristic->getValue();

      if (rxValue.length() > 0) {
        Serial.println("*********");
        Serial.print("Received Value: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < rxValue.length(); i++){
          Serial.print(rxValue[i]);
        }
      }
    }
};


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Create the BLE Device
  BLEDevice::init("TheOneSystem");

  // Create the BLE Server
  pServer = BLEDevice::createServer();
  pServer->setCallbacks(new MyServerCallbacks());

  // Create the BLE Service
  BLEService *pService = pServer->createService(SERVICE_UUID);

  // Create a BLE Characteristic
  pTxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                                        CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_TX,
                                        BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
                                    );
                      
  pTxCharacteristic->addDescriptor(new BLE2902());

  BLECharacteristic * pRxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                                             CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_RX,
                                            BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE
                                        );

  pRxCharacteristic->setCallbacks(new MyCallbacks());

  // Start the service
  pService->start();

  // Start advertising
  pServer->getAdvertising()->start();
  Serial.println("Waiting a client connection to notify...");
}

void loop() {
    if (deviceConnected) {
        pTxCharacteristic->setValue(&txValue, 1);
        pTxCharacteristic->notify();
        txValue++;
        delay(10); // bluetooth stack will go into congestion, if too many packets are sent
    }

    // disconnecting
    if (!deviceConnected && oldDeviceConnected) {
        delay(500); // give the bluetooth stack the chance to get things ready
        pServer->startAdvertising(); // restart advertising
        Serial.println("start advertising");
        oldDeviceConnected = deviceConnected;
    }
    // connecting
    if (deviceConnected && !oldDeviceConnected) {
        // do stuff here on connecting
        oldDeviceConnected = deviceConnected;
    }
}

I can easily handle received data with this part of code

class MyCallbacks: public BLECharacteristicCallbacks {
  String bleData;
    void onWrite(BLECharacteristic *pCharacteristic) {
      std::string rxValue = pCharacteristic->getValue();

      if (rxValue.length() > 0) {
        Serial.println("*********");
        Serial.print("Received Value: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < rxValue.length(); i++){
          //Serial.print(rxValue[i]);
          bleData=bleData+rxValue[i];
        }

        Serial.println();
        Serial.println(bleData);
        Serial.println("*********");
        int first = bleData.indexOf(",");
        String bleSSID = bleData.substring(0, first);
        String blepw = bleData.substring(first+1, bleData.length());
        Serial.println("Wifi : " + bleSSID + "," + "Password : " + blepw);
        bleData="";

      }
    }
};

How to send data by using TxCharacteristic? Anyone knows it?
Regards.
