TM, registered, and copyright symbols in one click
The three marks people need most, ™ ® and ©, plus the sound-recording ℗, the service mark ℠, and the legal section sign §. Click any of them to copy, then paste into a product name, a footer, a contract draft, or a slide. They are ordinary Unicode characters, so they work everywhere text does.
Which mark goes where
™ signals a claim to a trademark and needs no registration. ® is reserved for marks actually registered with a trademark office, and misusing it can carry legal consequences. © covers creative works, and ℗ specifically covers sound recordings. When in doubt about your own marks, that is a lawyer question, not a typography one.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type the TM symbol?
Windows: Alt+0153. Mac: Option+2. In Word, typing (tm) autocorrects to ™. Or click it above to copy.
How do I type the registered trademark symbol ®?
Windows: Alt+0174. Mac: Option+R. Most word processors also autocorrect (r) to ®.
What is the difference between ™ and ®?
™ claims a trademark you have not registered (no filing needed). ® means the mark is officially registered with a trademark office, and using ® without a registration is unlawful in many countries. This is general information, not legal advice.
How do I type the copyright symbol ©?
Windows: Alt+0169. Mac: Option+G. Autocorrect turns (c) into © in most editors. The sound-recording variant ℗ is also on this page.
Do these symbols work in social media names and bios?
