The easiest method
On iPhone, the most reliable method is to copy ™ and paste it where you need it. This works in Messages, Instagram, TikTok captions, product descriptions, email, and notes.
Make a text replacement
Go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement. Add a shortcut such as “tmx” and set the phrase to ™. After that, typing tmx can expand into the trademark symbol.
Use it carefully
The ™ symbol is often used for brand names, product names, slogans, and features. It does not automatically mean the trademark is registered. For registered marks, use ® only when the mark is officially registered.

Does iPhone have a dedicated TM key?
No. A text replacement shortcut is usually the fastest long-term solution.
Where this symbol is useful
the symbol is most useful when you are preparing public-facing text: product pages, app screens, website footers, marketplace listings, social captions, PDFs, and slide decks. The main goal is clarity. Put the symbol close to the name or work it refers to, and keep the same formatting throughout the page.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not replace the symbol with a letter, a small superscript image, or a look-alike character. If the notice is legal or commercial, double-check whether the situation calls for copyright, trademark, or registered trademark language. The right symbol makes the text look more professional and avoids confusing readers.
Quick FAQ
Can I copy and paste it? Yes. Copying the symbol is safe for normal documents, emails, web forms, and design tools. If it appears wrong after pasting, switch to a common font or copy it again from TypeSymbol.com.
