Being able to superscript trademark signs
B

The Sponsored Content department sometimes has to include registered trademark symbols at the client's request. However, since we're unable to superscript them, they stick out and can become quite obvious, especially when there's a lot of them. It'd be great if we could superscript them to not pull our audience out of their organic reading experience. As it stands, the ™ symbol seems to superscript on its own, but it'd be great if it could be made even smaller while still being legible. The ® is even bigger and doesn't superscript at all. Thanks in advance!

Hey @Brittany Alexandra Silveira ! Thanks for your submission :) Can you provide any insight regarding how often trademark symbols need to be included in articles?

@Shelby Renaud: Hi Shelby! I'd say maybe 20% of the time. We try our best to convince clients that it's in their best interest to omit those trademark symbols and keep it as organic as possible, but we often get pushback for legal reasons.
