Using ® across various platforms

[mrmbarnes]

Hi All

I am building a website system and part of it sends out emails and the company name is a registered trademark.

In the emails I am using this code:

<span style='position: relative; font-size: 40%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; top: -1.2em;'>&reg;</span>

In some email programs, like the current Outlook, the R is small but aligned to the bottom and other programs, like the iPad email program, the R is too big and aligned way to the top etc.

Does anyone know a way to use the R, $reg;, and make it consistent across email programs?

Thanks for any help.

I doubt if it makes any difference, but it might.

Try using ® instead ®

I would use the ® as @Mittineague suggests, but you’ll have problems trying to get alignment working across email clients, which are ‘the world that time forgot’ in terms of standards and support for basic things like CSS.

If you want it in “superscript” positioning, so to speak, perhaps try the actual HTML element for that:

<sup>®</sup>

Other than that, though, just place it there inline and let nature take its course, as there are much better things for you to spend your time on.

Thanks for the help so far… I have been doing further research and it appears that what I want to do is almost impossible… I have just added and tested making the R an image and that seems to be working a treat.
