How it works
The trademark sign ™ is a raised TM character used next to a name, word, phrase, or design that someone claims as a trademark. Its Unicode code point is U+2122. Because it is a single character, it stays together when copied and usually appears smaller than surrounding text.
In the United States, the USPTO explains that TM can be used for goods and SM for services even without a federal trademark application. The registered sign ® has a different meaning and should be used only with a trademark registered with the USPTO for the listed goods or services.
