How to Type the Registered Trademark (\u00ae) Symbol on Any Device<\/title>\r\n<style>\r\n \/* Preview-only styling. If pasting into WordPress, copy only the content\r\n inside <body> (everything below the <body> tag) into a Custom HTML\r\n block or the Text\/Code editor -- your theme's own CSS will style the\r\n headings, tables, and code the way the rest of your site looks. *\/\r\n * { box-sizing: border-box; }\r\n html, body { width: 100%; margin: 0; }\r\n body { font-family: -apple-system, Segoe UI, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 2rem 4rem; line-height: 1.6; color: #222; }\r\n h1, h2, h3, h4 { line-height: 1.3; }\r\n table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0; }\r\n th, td { border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px 10px; text-align: left; }\r\n th { background: #f5f5f5; }\r\n code { background: #f2f2f2; padding: 2px 5px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 0.95em; }\r\n pre { background: #f2f2f2; padding: 12px; border-radius: 5px; overflow-x: auto; }\r\n pre code { background: none; padding: 0; }\r\n hr { margin: 2rem 0; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; }\r\n<\/style>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n<p>Registered trademark symbols are special characters used to show that a name, logo, or slogan has been officially registered with a government trademark office. Some common registered trademark symbols include:<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00ae \u2122 \u00a9 \u2120 \u2117 \u24c7 \u24e1 \u1d3f<\/h2>\r\n<p>You can use them in logos, brand names, product packaging, legal documents, marketing materials, business cards, and website footers. In this guide, you'll learn how to type the registered trademark symbol on Windows, Mac, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, HTML, and more. You can also copy and paste the registered trademark symbol below if you need it quickly.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Quick Answer<\/h2>\r\n<p>The fastest way to type the \u00ae symbol is to copy and paste it directly, or use the keyboard shortcut <strong>Option+R<\/strong> on Mac. On Windows, hold <strong>Alt<\/strong> and type <strong>0174<\/strong> on the numeric keypad, or in Microsoft Word type <strong>00AE<\/strong> then press <strong>Alt+X<\/strong>. On iPhone and Android there's no dedicated key for \u00ae, so copy-paste or a text-replacement shortcut is fastest.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Registered Trademark Symbol Copy and Paste<\/h2>\r\n<p>Click any symbol below to copy it.

Some common registered trademark symbols include:<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00ae \u2122 \u00a9 \u2120 \u2117 \u24c7 \u24e1 \u1d3f<\/h2>\r\n<p>You can use them in logos, brand names, product packaging, legal documents, marketing materials, business cards, and website footers. In this guide, you'll learn how to type the registered trademark symbol on Windows, Mac, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, HTML, and more. You can also copy and paste the registered trademark symbol below if you need it quickly.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Quick Answer<\/h2>\r\n<p>The fastest way to type the \u00ae symbol is to copy and paste it directly, or use the keyboard shortcut <strong>Option+R<\/strong> on Mac. On Windows, hold <strong>Alt<\/strong> and type <strong>0174<\/strong> on the numeric keypad, or in Microsoft Word type <strong>00AE<\/strong> then press <strong>Alt+X<\/strong>. On iPhone and Android there's no dedicated key for \u00ae, so copy-paste or a text-replacement shortcut is fastest.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Registered Trademark Symbol Copy and Paste<\/h2>\r\n<p>Click any symbol below to copy it.
