The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If you are talking about the small, superscripted "TM" symbol, then
what you've seen is correct: There is no such symbol in any of the
"normal" EBCDIC encodings.
The proper solution is to use one of the Unicode encodings. These
days, UTF-8 (CCSID 1208) is preferred whenever possible, because
that's the de facto standard in the computing world at large. It's a
varying multibyte encoding (some characters are encoded as just one
byte, some are encoded as two bytes, some require even more), and some
older or less-well-designed applications may not be able to handle
that.
The next-best choices are CCSID 1252 (the typical Windows encoding,
not to be confused with CCSID 819 or 437, neither of which has the
trademark symbol) or 1200 (UTF-16, big endian).
I don't know the specifics of your requirements; if you cannot choose
another CCSID, then your current workaround may be the best you can
do.
