U+2120 "℠" Service Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
℠
U+2120 "℠" Service Mark is a typographic symbol used primarily in the United States to indicate that a particular word, name, or logo is being claimed as a service mark, which denotes a service rather than a tangible product. It is the service equivalent of the trademark symbol (™), and unlike the registered trademark symbol (®), it does not require formal registration with a government agency to be used. The character appears as a superscript "SM" in a single glyph and is commonly employed in advertising, branding, and legal disclaimers to assert ownership of a service-related brand identity.
