Well if you smart, you have gone to the government and registered your company name as a trademark, but you have to defend your mark and make sure that it is used. It is a little tricky to figure out how to do this, so here’s what to do in WordPress:
- While you can figure out how to type a ® or ™ or whatever keyboard you have, the simplest way is to use the HTML escapes which are
®
and™
this will do the right translation for you. There is huge variety these, I bet you can guess what©
gives you. - Now the problem is that when you do this, the character appears inline, so you have to make it a superscript. Most of the WordPress editors do not do this for you, so you have to use an HTML tag
<sup>™</sup>
to get the trademark™ up a bit a demonstrated here. - It turns out that this is usually just right for most fonts, this is fine, but for headers, it is too low, so you can add multiple superscripts like
<sup><sup>™</sup></sup>
and then it keeps pushing it up. - You can also shrink the font relatively, with
<small>™</small>
and of course you can do multiples to make it smaller. The nice thing is this font sizing is relative which is nice so<small><small>™</small></small>
works.
But how do you get this into the system in the first place:
- If you are using Gutenberg which is the default in WordPress, there is a
Edit in HTML
and then you can just add the tag. - In Elementor, in Headings, it is already HTML but that is not clear. For paragraphs you can choose the
HTML
tag.
