If you use the Unicode character it should display properly for everyone. A bit of a faff if you have to include these kinds of special characters a lot, but all you need to do is copy and paste: ™
I work for an organization that uses superscripted registered trademark symbols in much of their content. I need to be able to superscript that symbol in course titles and section headings. I don't have a problem in the body text, but the dialogue box with the superscript option doesn't appear when I highlight text in the course title or section headings. I have tried copying and pasting and using the unicode input. I tested the unicode input tool in Word and it worked fine. I just can't get it to work in Rise. Are there any other work-arounds or any idea when Articulate may make this possible in Rise?
Hi Alyssa! Thanks for the demo video you shared to create a superscript or subscript ® (see attached). I tried following the steps you showed. I also tried using other websites to generate the ® to no avail.
Create the ® symbol in Word, then copy and paste it into the title of a Rise Course.
Alternatively, on a Windows PC, ALT+0174 will also work.
If you have not used ALT codes before, you need to press and hold down the ALT key and then type the four numbers. Then let the ALT key go and the ® character will be displayed.
I think that getting the symbol is one issue - and getting it superscripted is another.
I was able to get the registration symbol easily by copying from Word, and the Alt key method works too. However, for lesson titles, I cannot select it, right click and choose to superscript it - I can do this for every time it appears in random text. My client certainly noticed the difference. Is there an open request for this ability? Thanks in advance.
Hi Meg, thanks for checking in. No updates yet for this feature, and currently, this isn't in our Roadmap. If anything changes, we will post an update here.
I would greatly appreciate it if this issue were addressed as well. One of our big clients is requesting it in the Rise courses we are building for them.
The font I use in my Rise templates is a san-serif font (Avenir) and when I paste the TM symbol/character in the titles, it appears as a serif TM (Times). Looks terrible. Can you please fix this or let us know how to not make our courses look like a third grader built it?
Hi, Brett! I'm sorry to hear your TM symbol isn't looking great when you insert it in your course. Can you share how you're adding the symbol in your course? Are you copying it from a different source? What keys are you typing? Please also share a screenshot showing this issue so I can take a closer look. Thanks!

thanks Sam. That did it.
Sam - that was very helpful, thanks!
I have to do it for the Canadian French version of TM, which is MC. This is not a character. Any ideas?
Here you go, Lynn: 🅪
I googled the MC symbol mark to find it and its unicode: U+1F16A

Hi Heidi!
There are a couple of ways you can insert a trademark symbol in Rise 360. Check out this video demo to find out how!
The website I used to copy the trademark symbol is here.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

You bet, Stacy. There is an open request for supersripts in Rise 360 course and lesson titles. I'll add your vote to the list!
Hello Alyssa, Please add my vote to the list also... It is very important to me ;o)
Hello - Has there been an update to this issue? Can we expect to be able to add symbols in course titles soon? Thanks!

Just wanted to chime in that me and my organization would value this enhancement.

Hi Denton - I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get it to work?
