If you simply hold down ‘alt’ and enter 0153 numerically, the ™ symbol is displayed as a glyph. That is also how you can produce accented characters for foreign languages, monetary symbols, and more, like the degree sign (alt+0176) °
legal symbol (alt+0167)§ and copyright (alt+0169) ©.

§ is not the “legal” symbol; it’s the shorthand symbol for “section.”

Strangely, the thread title just shows up as “…” in the forum summary at Straight Dope Message Board - Your direct line to thousands of the smartest, hippest people on the planet, plus a few total dipsticks. .
