Can I add superscript (a registered trademark symbol) to a KB article title?

I know it's possible to use HTML tags to add superscript to the body of an article, but is there a way to do this in the article title? I found a few articles and community posts on the Zendesk support site that have superscript in their titles (for example, https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217101828-About-Net-Promoter-Score-surveys) but I can't figure out how to set this up in my own KB.

Hi Jill

I'm not sure - I can't seem to be able to add it either. So my best bet is that Zendesk is using some kind of javascript to change on the fly when loading the article... If i stumble upon a solution i will update my answer here...


You mean ®?

You can copy that symbol and paste it in the title. The body of the article will let you either paste the symbol ® or use ® in the html.

Yes, the registered trademark symbol shows up in both the title and the body. However, in the title, the symbol is the same size as the text and aligned with the baseline. I'd like it to be superscript. 

Here's the article in question: https://help.lendingclub.com/hc/en-us/articles/230359608 

The registered trademark symbol is correctly formatted in the body, but not in the title of the article.


That is because the font you're using, Helvetica Neue, doesn't have a ®  sign that's smaller. Try Proxima Nova, Garamond, or Trebuchet MS and you'll see it works fine.

Adding the following code to the JS file of the theme converts the registered trademark symbol to superscript:

$('body :not(script)').contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType === 3;
}).replaceWith(function() {
return this.nodeValue.replace(/[™®©]/g, '<sup>$&</sup>');
});

Thanks for sharing that solution, Travis!
