As per the HTML:

<span data-testid="send" data-icon="send" class>...</span>

To click on the element you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using FindElementByCss:

Driver.FindElementByCss("span[data-testid='send'][data-icon='send']").Click()

Using FindElementByXPath:

Driver.FindElementByXPath("//span[@data-testid='send' and @data-icon='send']").Click()

it should be like

driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span[data-testid='send'][data-icon='send']")).Click()

when select specific attributes :

span[data-testid='send']

to add attributes to same tag :

span[data-testid='send'][data-icon='send']

*no space between attributes
