Want to insert a registered trademark or copyright symbol or other type of character in your Windows document? You can use the Character Map. It works with almost any Windows application allowing you to add characters into your Word document, email message, etc. Here’s how.

1. Place the cursor where you would like the character to appear in your document.

2. Click Start > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map.

3. The Character Map appears. Select the Font you wish to use at the top of the window. then you can select any of the different types of characters, logos and symbols including the copyright © and trademark ® symbols.

4. Double-click on the character you would like to insert into your document. The character will be added to the Characters to copy box.

5. Click the Copy button.

6. Close the Character Map and in your document you can Paste the character into your document. Usually you can do this by clicking Edit > Paste or holding down Ctrl while pressing V.

One bad thing about this feature is that I didn’t find the Artist Formerly Known as Prince logo.
