Step-by-step workflow
How to Type the Trademark Symbol on Android
Use these methods in order. Copy and paste is universal; symbol layers, clipboard pinning, and personal dictionaries depend on the installed keyboard and its settings.
- Copy the Unicode character. Use the button at the top of this page. This is the most consistent method for the trademark symbol on Android because it does not depend on a particular keyboard layout.
- Try the symbol pages. Open the number-and-symbol layer, then check the secondary page. Gboard often begins with ?123 and =\<; Samsung Keyboard may expose another page with 1/2. Treat those labels as examples, not universal positions.
- Pin the clipboard entry. Copy ™, open the keyboard Clipboard, touch and hold the clip, and select Pin. Google documents that pinned Gboard text remains available when normal clipboard history is cleared.
- Create a personal shortcut. If your keyboard supports a personal dictionary or text shortcuts, save ™ as the expansion and choose an uncommon trigger such as
tmx. Test it before adding the mark to permanent content.

Keyboard differences
Gboard, Samsung Keyboard, and Other Keyboards
A dedicated guide is useful because the trademark symbol on Android is not controlled by one universal Android keyboard. Each keyboard app can organize symbol layers, clipboard tools, and shortcut settings differently.
Use the Gboard clipboard and symbol layers
Check ?123 and the secondary symbol layer first. For a dependable repeat workflow, copy ™, open Clipboard from the toolbar or features menu, touch and hold the clip, and tap Pin. Google's current help page confirms that pinned text is excluded when ordinary clipboard history clears.
Pinned clip: ™
Check Samsung Keyboard options
Open the symbol keyboard and use its additional-page control to look for ™. Samsung documents that keyboard options can vary by model and operating system. Its toolbar can also expose Clipboard, while current Samsung Keyboard settings include Text shortcuts for expanded phrases.
Shortcut: tmx → ™
Use a safe fallback elsewhere
With another keyboard, look for features named Symbols, Clipboard, Personal dictionary, or Text shortcuts. If they are absent, keep using copy and paste. This keeps the trademark symbol on Android usable without installing an unfamiliar keyboard that could expose everything you type.
Safe fallback: copy ™
Verify the changing controls in the official Gboard clipboard guide, Samsung Keyboard guide, and Samsung text-shortcut guide.
Fix Android Symbol and Pasting Problems
Most problems with the trademark symbol on Android come from a layout difference, short-lived clipboard history, font rendering, or shortcut suggestions. Start with the copied base character before changing keyboard settings.
The keyboard does not show ™
Check the second symbol page and confirm the active language. If the mark is missing, copy it from this page and pin it. A missing key does not mean the phone cannot display U+2122, and you do not need to install another keyboard.
The symbol appears in emoji style
Some apps add an emoji variation selector or choose an emoji font. Copy the text-only ™ again, paste it into a plain-text note, then move that character to the destination. If only one app changes it, the rendering behavior belongs to that app.
Clipboard history removes the character
Temporary clips can expire. In Gboard, open Clipboard, touch and hold the ™ entry, and tap Pin. Other keyboards may call the same feature Favorites, Saved clips, or Locked clips; use only the built-in feature you recognize.
An app changes the font or formatting
Paste without source formatting when the app offers that option, or select a font with a normal U+2122 glyph. The mark is naturally small and raised in many fonts, so avoid replacing it with a screenshot or forcing superscript before checking the original glyph.
A text shortcut does not expand
Confirm the shortcut is saved under the active language and that suggestions or predictive text are enabled. Type the trigger letter by letter, then tap the proposed expansion. If no suggestion appears, keep the pinned clipboard method as the reliable fallback.
Android Trademark Symbol FAQ
Where is ™ on an Android keyboard?
Open the number and symbol layer, then look for a second symbol page. In many Gboard layouts that begins with ?123 and then =\<, while Samsung Keyboard may use a 1/2 key. The location can change with the keyboard app, language, device, and version, so copying ™ is the universal fallback.
How do I keep ™ in Gboard?
Copy ™, tap a text field to open Gboard, and choose Clipboard from the toolbar or features menu. Touch and hold the copied character, then choose Pin. Google states that ordinary clipboard history clears after a period, but pinned text is excluded, making this a reliable repeated-use method.
Can I create a shortcut for the symbol?
Yes, if your keyboard supports personal dictionary entries or text shortcuts. Save ™ as the expanded text and use a distinctive trigger such as tmx. Type the trigger in a notes app and select the suggestion before trusting it in permanent copy, because shortcut behavior varies by keyboard and language.
Why does ™ look different in some apps?
The base value is the Unicode text character U+2122, but the destination app, selected font, or an added variation selector can change its appearance. Paste the text-only character into a plain-text note to compare. If it works there, change the destination font or remove formatting instead of using an image.
Can I use the same method for ® and ©?
Yes. Copy each Unicode character and pin it or save it under a separate shortcut. Use the correct character for your task: copy the registered trademark symbol for ® or copy the copyright symbol for ©. This page explains input methods only and does not decide which legal notice is appropriate.
