U+2122 · Letterlike Symbols

Trademark Symbol ™

The trademark sign ™ tells readers that a word, name, logo, or slogan is being claimed as a brand, even if it has not been registered. It is common on packaging, websites, and marketing materials. Once a trademark is officially registered in a country, companies typically switch to the registered sign ®.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It is often confused with the service mark ℠ (U+2120), which is used for services instead of goods.

Tip: On Windows with a numeric keypad, Alt + 0153 types ™; on a Mac, use Option + 2.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
