Trademark symbol

[wolfgang]

Hi,
I did a search and did not find it, maybe I'm too stupid;-(
There is the copyright symbol, which is a c inside a raised circle.
That's great.
But how do I get the trademark symbol, which is a raised circle with
an R inside.
Does anybody have a macro definition of that?
I'm not a reader of this newsgroup, so would it be possible to contavt
me directly by mail??

Thanks, Wolfgang

LaTeX provides the following two commands by default:

  \textcopyright

  \textregistered

The former produces the copyright symbol, while the latter produces the registered trademark symbol. These you can use within text without adding additional packages. Here's a minimal example, showing how you can raise them in text mode, if needed. Otherwise, you don't need \textsuperscript{...}:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Something\textsuperscript{\textcopyright} or SomethingElse\textsuperscript{\textregistered}.
\end{document}

When I have a symbol in mind and can't find its latex code, I try Detexfiy:

You just draw the symbol and Detexfy tries to recognize it. Even with
my poor dexterity, Detexify gives me back what I want (usually) in its
first 5 suggestions.
In this case, \textregistered was its first suggestion. You should
give it a try!

Drawing is funnier!
