How to Type ©, ® and ™
On Windows, hold Alt and type on the numeric keypad: Alt + 0169 for ©, Alt + 0174 for ® and Alt + 0153 for ™. On a Mac, press Option + G for ©, Option + R for ® and Option + 2 for ™. Microsoft Word also autocorrects (c), (r) and (tm) into the symbols by default. In HTML, use ©, ® and ™. On phones these aren’t on the standard keyboard, so copying from this page is the quickest option.
What Each Symbol Means
© marks a copyright notice, as in “© PuffChip Studio.” ℗ is the sound recording copyright symbol printed on albums and audio releases. ™ is used with a trademark that isn’t necessarily registered, while ® signals a registered trademark, and ℠ is the service mark — the services equivalent of ™. The section sign § and the pilcrow ¶ are common in legal and editorial writing: § points to a numbered section of a law or contract, and ¶ marks a paragraph.
