REGISTERED SIGN

About this character

The registered trademark symbol, commonly called the circle-R, is a typographic marker indicating that a word, logo, or phrase has been formally registered with a national trademark office. It derives from the Latin word *registrare* and has been standardized in typography since the mid-twentieth century, appearing in legal documents, packaging, and branding to assert protected status. In design and writing, it is placed as a superscript immediately following the mark. In programming, it can be represented via Unicode U+00AE or HTML entities `®` and `®`, ensuring consistent display across digital platforms. Unlike the superscript “TM,” it signifies official registration rather than merely claimed usage.
