special character for superscript reg trademark?

[suzanne]

does anyone know of a better way to do a superscripted registered trademark then the way below?

sup>&reg;</sup>

TKs.

S

Actually, no. No matter if you use HTML's <sup> tags or CSS' superscript - it's basically the same thing.

And, that's the only way to go if you want it superscript...

[pageoneresults]

Would this work for you?

&#8482;

No need for the .

<added> Sorry, I didn't realize it was the (R) that you were looking for. I've styled my <sup> for the Registered Trademark to achieve what you are looking for.

^®

sup{font-size:11px;vertical-align:top;}

[DrDoc]

...and &trade; would work just as well as &#8482;

[pageoneresults]

DrDoc, are the named values just as compatible as the numeric ones?

[BlobFisk]

Strange, I use &#174; for that symbol...

[pageoneresults]

OT, I'm patiently waiting for SM (Service Mark) to make into the spec.

Here is the character code chart:

I believe the named values are just as compatable.

Actually, the Webmonkey list includes Windows characters which it is better to avoid unless you are working in an intranet or other environment where you can eforce the Windows-1252 charset. It's safest to stick with
[w3.org...] . A more useful reference, actually, are Korpela's tables at [cs.tut.fi...] which actually show how the entities are rendered. [fjordaan.uklinux.net...] is a table showing cross-browser support for the Latin-1 set.

Thanks choster.
