When to use it
Claims a trademark that isn’t (yet) registered. Usually shown once, at the first or most prominent use of the name.
In HTML, CSS and JavaScript
<p>™</p> <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->
.note::before { content: "\2122"; }
const s = "\u2122";
In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
