I've attempted to embed the Trademark symbol into a UI Page several ways, but so far they have all failed:
- ™ results in an XML error (The entity "trade" was referenced, but not declared.)
- ™ results in "™" being displayed
- ™ results in nothing being displayed
- ™ results in "™" being displayed
- via various Jelly variables (results in similar results to examples above). ex.
<j2:set var="jvar_trade" value="™"/>
<h1> Widget$[jvar_trade] </h1>
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ravio - That works also!
BTW, It looks like the "™" code for trademark: (that I got from this page: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/143/copyright-and-trademark-symbols-in-html/) was never well-supported and that the unicode value "™" works as expected on ServiceNow
More details on this post: http://j.mp/1xL00DK
-------------------------
ISO-8859-1 reserves values 127-159 for control characters. These values are undefined and always have been for
- ASCII (which only goes to 127; there is no such thing as ASCII character 153, 169 or 174. ASCII is a seven-bit system so that programs can use the other bit to check for parity and so forth).
- ISO-8859-1 (which reserves these values for non-displaying control characters).
- Unicode (which overlaps with ISO-8858-1 for 0-255)
These values are defined for Windows-1252 and will cause you problems in almost any other character set and should never be used in HTML. You should use the Unicode value, that is ™ in decimal notation
-------------------------
To avoid any possible issues, I'll use the unicode code "™" on my pages.

You are close. You do need to use a Jelly variable, but use this instead:
<j2:set var="jvar_trade" value="&trade;"/>
<h1> Widget$[jvar_trade] </h1>
You need to use "&" instead of "&" because the "&" is a special character.

Thanks Jim,
I've tried that variation as well, but it also fails (it results in "™" being displayed, just as if I hadn't used the Jelly variable at all). BTW, I'm testing this on Eureka if that makes a difference.
It seems that wrapping the encoding sequence in a Jelly variable works for ampersands, but fails for the trademark symbol (even when you encode its starting ampersand).
This is what finally worked for me:
<script>document.write(String.fromCharCode(parseInt(2122,16)));</script>
It's not pretty, but it works. If you come up with a better solution, please let me know.

Umm, another Eureka issue I guess, because it does work with Dublin.

Instead of "™", try "${AMP}trade;"
