Hi

I don’t want to look a fool when quoting this, so can anyone please confirm the name of the ‘circled R’ used beside registered trademarks.

I’ve been told that it is a Racol, but am unable to confirm.

Thanks

not heard of racol before and can’t see any related items in a google search.

in unicode definitions, special characters e.g. caret, tilde) are usually named and the registered sign is called just that.

“The registered trademark symbol, designated by ® (a circled R also known as a Racol derived from Registered & Authorised COmpany Logo), is a symbol used to provide notice that the preceding mark is a trademark or service mark that has been registered with a national trademark office.”

Leave it to Wiki.

Pinch of salt.

It’s too bad this site is not more worthwhile: no matter where you click you get a chart of useless symbols.

What to you want: a star in the East?

That would be most helpful, please, much more so than that site. Where is racol in the chart?

This is what I’m seeing when I click on the link (along with a giant R symbol).

Wiki: Registered trademark symbol

The registered trademark symbol, designated by ® (a circled R also known as a Racol derived from Registered & Authorised COmpany Logo), is a symbol used to provide notice that the preceding mark is a trademark or service mark that has been registered with a national trademark office. [1] In some countries, including Hong Kong, it is against the law to use the registered trademark symbol for a mark that is not officially registered in any country. [1] Trademarks not so registered are instead marked with the trademark symbol ™, while unregistered service marks are marked with the service mark symbol ℠. The proper manner to display these symbols is immediately following the mark in superscript style.

I was referring to the site in post #1.

Oh, that one!

Yupper!
Maybe Mark can help us decipher it.  Makes no sense to me. The only one that did was the site under “monetary symbols”, but only because I knew what some of them
were.

They all mean something to somebody—just not to us.

Oh, well, won’t take any minutes off my life.

Does the c in a circle for copyright have a name too? Racol - cacol? Cacacol?

It stands for copyright.

DUH.
I posssess three copyrights. I know that!!!!
Go sell a house.
