Hi! * Phil Tomson: > I need to output a company name and legal requires that we put the > circle R after the name as in Zowcorp(R). In my complete list of ISO 8859 charsets I only find in ISO 8859-1 (West Europe) ISO 8859-8 (Hebrew) ISO 8859-9 (Turkish) ISO 8859-13 (Baltic Rim) ISO 8859-14 (Celtic) ISO 8859-15 (West Europe) ISO 8859-2 through -7 and -9 through -11 (-12 does not exist) don't contain it. > In some other cases we need the trademark (TM) symbol. (TM) cannot be found in *any* of the ISO 8859 standard charsets. It also cannot be found in any of the DOS codepages, EBCDIC codpages or ISO 646 charsets I know (and I am quite sure to know all of them). The only charsets I found them in are Windows codepages and Unicode. Unfortunately my knowledge of ISO 2022 is by far too limited to make a statement about the codes defined by it.
