I used a registered character in superscript in my headings, but the TOC and Running H/F are not recognizing it. Please suggest solution.

I believe that, if you format the character you want to retain a superscript position in the generated documents, with a character style, things should work. So create a character style that sets your character to superscript and format the characters with that style. Re-generate toc.

Presumably this is U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN and not legacy FM \xa8
The Character Format has to exist in the TOC, and this is a double-edged sword, because if the ƒ does exist, it will also break the hypertext at that point in the string.
The Running H/F situation I have less insight on.
With ® generally, some fonts inherently treat it as superscript, and a visually acceptable Paragraph Format might be selected to provide that.

Just to clarify, any character property change in a TOC paragraph will break the hyperlink, whether it's done with a character format or not. There is a script on my store that will fix this issue, including a free version:

It's been a while. Hope you are doing well.
As per @Bob_Niland, it's worth visually reinforcing that some fonts will superscript the registered trademark and some do not. In my screen shot below, I didn't touch the trademark, I just changed the assigned font.
You are using a very distinctive font for your heads, but it doesn't superscript the trademark. The easiest solution is to use a font for the running heads and TOC that automatically superscripts the symbol since those are pulled from the page content.

Thank you, Barb! I'll try these solutions and let you know.
