Key combination: R in a circle - how to type the Registered sign

Many trademarks and articles are protected with the Registered Trade Mark sign, which is in the form of an R in a circle. You will not find a dedicated key on your keyboard for this special character, so you will need to use a key combination to insert it into your text.

This is the key combination for the R in a circle

Depending on your operating system, the Registered character can be entered in different ways on your keyboard. The symbol represented as R in a circle is appended directly to the protected name without spaces and also shows up smaller as well as raised a bit.

• A simple method that does not require a key combination is "Copy and Paste". Here you simply search for the symbol in your browser's search engine and have it displayed. Now you can mark it with your mouse and copy it by left-clicking. Then paste the symbol in the same way in your text or in your document.
• In order to be able to paste the Registered character directly, so that it is immediately adapted to your text in terms of formatting, your keyboard needs an extra number pad. For Windows, you do this by holding down the "Alt" key and typing the number sequence "0174" using the numeric keypad on the side. Beim Loslassen der Taste erscheint das Zeichen an der gewünschten Stelle.
• Verfügen Sie über einen Mac, dann müssen Sie für das Registered-Zeichen einfach die Tasten „Alt“ und „r“ gleichzeitig gedrückt halten.
