Perhaps you are confusing the Trademark symbol (Unicode U+2122) with the Registered Trademark symbol (Unicode U+00AE). None of the codepages you list above contain the Trademark symbol (a stylized TM), but they all contain the Registered Trademark symbol, which looks like a capital R in a circle. All the ASCII-based codepages have U+00AE at X'AE', and all the EBCDIC CPs have it at X'AF'. As far as entering a character in a particular terminal emulator program, while I don't know Hostexplorer, generally these programs have a keyboard mapping function that will allow you to map some otherwise unused key sequence (perhaps ALT-T) to the character you want. If you really want U+2122, then you have to either use a codepage that has it (and maybe there just isn't one), or arbitrarily use some other byte value to represent TM in your applications. Or just change everything to use Unicode...
