trade mark symbol

[Colleen Thomas]

does anyone know if there is a way to put on the trademark symbol into a story? In general I avoid using the specific names of companies or products, but in this story I really need to use one and I wish to note it as trademarked.

Colly to put the trade mark symbol into any text read across the entire internet you type the following, no spaces and include the semi-colon
& # 1 7 4 ; this gives you ® This is the registered trademark symbol.

NOTE: I have deliberately left a space between each symbol otherwise it will show as ®

The copyright symbol, which may be the one you want to append to stories is & # 1 6 9 ; and will appear as © Again NO SPACES between symbols and the semi-colon is required.

I doubt if you really need to do that. I make references to KY Jelly and sometimes mention that I drive a Toyota Tundra, and use other brand names sometimes. As long as it's just a passing reference, you shouldn't need to make any such indication.

I've just found the code for the Trademark symbol it is

& # 8 4 8 2 ; and prints as ™

Again same rules, no spaces, include the semi-colon

&+trade+; (without the plus signs) is the named HTML code for "™" ad is easier to remember.

&=reg+; is the named code for ®

&+trade+; (without the plus signs) is the named HTML code for "™" ad is easier to remember.

&=reg+; is the named code for ®

But that won't work on all systems (especially ™ ). The numbers are much safer to use.

I'll just bribe Lauren to do it for me when she edits the story

I agree with Box. Why bother with ™ ? Legally, you are writing fiction, and although I'm not sure about American laws, but I seriously doubt that novels that mention contemporary trademarks are littered with litte trademark symbols.

I copyright my works. Probably wishful thining on my part that I will even need them, but I like to dream and since I aplready paid the lawyer, why not? Since I do, I think I would feel better being safe than sorry

It could be symbolic, though. You're a poet, man!

It's good for humor porn.

Lance unzipped his pants and pulled out his Huge Shlong™, which he then shoved deep into Inga's Craving Cunt™.

I can't say positively that the trademark named variable will work on all systems, but I know that using the named code for quotes is more reliable than using the numeric values because some fonts use different numbers for the quote marks; the named codes are translated according to what the font and browser use for quote marks.

The main point, though is that the names are easier to remember than numbers are and will work with most browsers.

... but I know that using the named code for quotes is more reliable than using the numeric values because some fonts use different numbers for the quote marks; the named codes are translated according to what the font and browser use for quote marks. ...

This is a specific problem for single and double quotes only. It arises because there are three different forms of each,
" which is sometimes called straight quotes,
“ which is called open quotes,
” which is called close quotes.

There are similar for single quotes also. Many word processors play real havoc with these, arbitrarily swapping them no matter what you do.

Edited to add At least this post reads OK on my machine (XPHE IE6).
