How can I write symbol in Frame maker

[Amit Mani30445109n307]

How can I write a symbol like  (encircled 'R' at the top edge of A) in the screenshot below in FM? Please guide.

Google says that symbol in Unicode is U+00AE - check your font to see if it supports that code point.

How can I do that? Please guide.

I got it. Thanks!

There are two possible codepoints in Unicode:
® U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN
Ⓡ U+24C7 CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R
Only 00AE has the usually desired semantics (important for accessiblity | screen readers), but ® also may or may not be inherently superscripted in your font.

Most fonts will have ®. It can be typed in FM on Windows as Alt+0174 on the keyboard, or as \u00ae in dialogs. The legacy \xa8 likely still works as well.

Hi Bob, 

Can this (0174) simply be typed in FM document holding Alt key on keybord? Because I am trying the same but the Registered sign is not appearning.

[Bob_Niland]

I just typed this ® using
[Alt] pressed & while held, and
then each of these pressed & released in turn:
[0/Ins]   [1/End]   [7/Home]   [4/←]
on the numpad. For these keys to generate any numbers, of course, [NumLock] must be engaged, which it may not be by default.

Curiously, Alt+0174 did not work using the numbered keys above the QWERTY block.

I might add that that I never type non-keyboard characters in FM. I do them as Variables:

Are you familiar with the Windows app called Character Map?

You ought to have it on your pc. Bottom right corner shows the shortcut or you can copy paste from the app.

Yes, thank you. I got it.
