Re: Trademark symbol conversion from ASCII

Hi Patrik,

Yes, that's why it was puzzling that Mark Villa said "I don't think the trademark is translated correctly from ASCII to EBCDIC," implying that it was correct in some ASCII file, and just got mistranslated when going to EBCDIC.

As it turns out, his followup answered my question, and Scott Klement clarified that it's actually UTF-8 (CCSID 1208), not actually ASCII.

I'm curious, what is the ASCII code for the TM symbol?
As said, there is none. The only system I'm aware of which has that symbol in its 8-Bit charset is old Macs with the Mac Roman charset (Option-E).

Is it a single character (TM), or two characters (T and M)?
It's a single character: ™.

I don't see anything in my ASCII chart, even in the extended 8-bit section.
No wonder. :-)

:wq! PoC
