The Service mark symbol, designated by ℠ (the letters SM written in Superscript style), is a Symbol commonly used in the United States to provide notice that the preceding mark is a Service mark. This symbol has some legal force, and is typically used for service marks not yet registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; registered service marks are instead marked with the same symbol used for registered trademarks, the Registered trademark symbol ®. The proper manner to display the symbol is immediately following the mark in superscript style.

The character is mapped in Unicode as U+Error: syntax error RROR: SYNTAX ERROR; service mark (℠ in HTML)[1][2]. Unlike the similar Trademark symbol, there is no simple built-in way to type the service mark symbol on Microsoft Windows or Macintosh systems.

}} }} This template is used to identify a Typography-related stub. It uses {{asbox}} which is a meta-template designed to ease the process of creating and maintaining stub templates.

Usage

Typing {{Typ-stub}} produces the message shown at the top, and adds the article to the following category: }}

General information

This is a stub template. A brief explanation of these templates follow; for full details please consult Wikipedia:Stub.

What is a stub?

A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.

How is a stub identified?

  • If possible, try to find the most appropriate stub template for the article. A full list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types.
  • Two or more different stub templates may be used, if necessary.
  • Place a stub template at the very end of the article, after the "External links" section, any navigation templates, and the category tags. As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double curly brackets, e.g. {{stub}}.
