About this character

U+00AE (®) is REGISTERED SIGN, a symbol in the Latin-1 Supplement block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its emoji name (CLDR short name) is “registered”, in the Symbols group, subgroup other-symbol. By default it is shown as a text glyph; follow it with U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16 to request the colour emoji form (U+00AE U+FE0F), or with U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 to force text style.

Its East Asian Width is Ambiguous: it takes one column in Western contexts and two in East Asian legacy contexts, a common cause of misaligned tables in terminals.
