How does one get a registered (trade mark) symbol in LaTeX --
a raised, circled R?

Here's from a c.t.t. posting a while back. I think you can also use the
\textregistered command with the {inputenc} package.

Actually its in LaTeX itself, you don't need any package.

I think there exist some quicker way than the following,
anyway try this: any characters in the installed fonts can
be obtained with the command
\symbol{x}
where x is a number between 0 and 255. Depending upon what
font is currently selected, it will give the corresponding
character. To get a complete list of all characters
available in a font, download from CTAN the file
nfssfont.tex
when you run it through latex, it will ask you for a font:
type cmr10 for exemple, or any other fonts you have
installed. Then type \table and it will display a table
with all the characters available in the font cmr10 and the
corresponding numbers. When you find the (R) character in
some font, you will be able to put its number as the
argument for the \symbol command.
Another thing is that the character you are looking for
corresponds to number 220 of the PostScript font 'Symbol'
(see LaTeX companion...)
I hope this will help
