Immediate answer
Service Mark Symbol Copy and Paste in Three Steps
The service mark symbol copy and paste workflow is short: copy ℠, place it after the service name, and check the result in the destination font.
Paste it after a service name
Place ℠ immediately after the name in your document, web page, proposal, presentation, or design. The composer creates a clean example without adding a second symbol when the name already ends in ℠.
Confirm the destination font
The character is standardized, but fonts control its size, weight, and baseline. Check the final layout on the device and application where readers will see it, especially before exporting a PDF or image.
Character and source reference
Service Mark Symbol Copy and Paste Codes
The same ℠ sign can appear as a literal character or as a code in source files. Choose the representation expected by the destination rather than pasting visible code into ordinary prose.
Swipe the table or use arrow keys to see every column.
| Format | Value | Use | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Character | ℠ | Documents, messages, names, and UTF-8 web content | |
| Unicode | U+2120 | Character identification and technical documentation | |
| HTML decimal | ℠ | Numeric character reference in HTML source | |
| HTML hexadecimal | ℠ | Hexadecimal character reference in HTML source | |
| CSS content | \2120 | Generated content when generated text is appropriate | |
| JavaScript | \u2120 | A Unicode escape inside a JavaScript string |
Microsoft Word: 2120 then Alt+X
In a supported Windows version of Word, type 2120, place the cursor immediately after the digits, and press Alt+X. Word converts the hexadecimal code point into ℠. Pressing Alt+X again can reveal the code point.
Windows Character Map
Open Character Map, choose a font that contains the glyph, and look for the Unicode service mark sign. Copying from this page is normally quicker, but Character Map is useful when comparing font support.
macOS, iPhone, and iPad
Use the Character Viewer or copy ℠ here. For repeated mobile work, create a text replacement such as smmark that expands to ℠, using a trigger you will not type accidentally.
Android and other applications
Symbol availability varies among keyboards and apps. Copy and paste supplies the exact U+2120 value without relying on a platform-specific shortcut. Test the destination because some fields restrict uncommon characters.
Choose the right notice
When to Use ℠ Instead of ™ or ®
In general U.S. guidance, ℠ identifies a claimed mark associated with services, ™ identifies a claimed trademark, and ® indicates registration where its use is permitted. The service mark symbol copy and paste tool supplies text; it does not determine eligibility or registration status.
Claimed service mark
Use ℠ as notice for a name or identifier associated with services when that choice fits the relevant rules and context. The character itself does not create registration.
Claimed trademark
™ is widely used for a claimed trademark, often in connection with goods. For the ordinary trademark character, copy the trademark symbol on the homepage.
Registered mark
® communicates registration, not merely a claim. If the mark is eligible for that notice, use the separate tool to copy the registered trademark symbol.
Copyright notice
© relates to copyright notice for creative work. It is not a substitute for ℠, ™, or ® and does not identify a service mark. Use the dedicated page to copy the copyright symbol.
A fictional cloud-service name shown in a web navigation context.
A fictional professional-service name shown on a proposal cover.
A fictional creative-service name shown in a compact signature line.
These neutral examples demonstrate typography only and are not real brands or legal conclusions. The USPTO trademark basics explain the U.S. distinction among TM, SM, and ®. Rules vary by jurisdiction; consult the relevant authority or a qualified professional for a particular mark.
Display and input fixes
Why the Small SM Symbol May Not Display Correctly
Most modern fonts and browsers support U+2120, but the final appearance still depends on font coverage, text encoding, application behavior, and whether source code was escaped correctly.
Swipe the table or use arrow keys to see every column.
| Problem | Likely reason | Practical fix |
|---|---|---|
| A blank box or missing glyph appears | The selected font does not contain a suitable U+2120 glyph | Switch to a font with broader Unicode coverage and test again |
| ℠ looks too large or sits on the baseline | Font metrics and glyph design differ across typefaces | Try another font before applying manual superscript formatting |
HTML displays ℠ as text | The ampersand was escaped twice or inserted into a plain-text field | Use a literal ℠ in UTF-8 HTML or one correctly encoded character reference |
| CSS or JavaScript shows a backslash code | The escape was placed in ordinary content rather than a source string | Use \2120 only in CSS and \u2120 only in a JavaScript string |
| Alt + 8480 does not work | 8480 is a decimal code point value, not a universal legacy Windows Alt sequence | Copy ℠, use Word 2120 then Alt+X, or choose it from a character viewer |

The service mark sign is Unicode U+2120, named SERVICE MARK. In UTF-8 it is encoded as the three bytes E2 84 A0.
How do I type ℠ in Microsoft Word?
In supported Windows versions of Microsoft Word, type 2120 and then press Alt+X. Word converts the hexadecimal code point into ℠.
Is there a universal Alt code for ℠?
No. Although 8480 is the decimal value of U+2120, Alt+8480 is not a universal Windows input method. Copy ℠, use Word's 2120 then Alt+X method, or open a character viewer.
What is the difference between ℠ and ™?
℠ is associated with a claimed mark for services, while ™ is commonly used for a claimed trademark for goods or more general trademark notice. Usage can depend on jurisdiction and context.
Can a registered service mark use ®?
A service mark registered with the relevant authority may use ® where that use is permitted. The ℠ character does not itself state that a mark is registered.
