About Trademark Symbol
The trademark symbol (™) indicates that a word, phrase, symbol, or design is being used as a trademark but has not necessarily been registered with a government trademark office. It serves as a public claim of trademark rights.
In HTML, insert this symbol using ™, ™, or ™. The named entity ™ was introduced in HTML 4.0 and is supported by all modern browsers. Unlike the registered trademark symbol (®), the trademark symbol does not require formal registration and can be used by anyone claiming trademark rights.
The trademark symbol is part of the Letterlike Symbols Unicode block. It renders as a superscript "TM" in most fonts and is commonly placed immediately after the trademarked term without a space. Some style guides recommend using it only on the first mention of a trademark within a document.
In CSS, you can insert the trademark symbol using "\2122" with the content property. This is particularly useful when implementing brand guidelines that require trademark symbols to appear consistently across a website without modifying the underlying HTML content.
