The TMโข and ยฎ symbols get mixed up more than youโd think. Use โข when you want to mark a phrase or logo as your brandโs trademark but havenโt registered it, and ยฎ when your mark is officially registered with the government. They show up in legal disclaimers, marketing copy, and product packaging. Mixing them up can cause confusion, so keep โข and ยฎ straight to signal whether your claim is pending or fully protected.
