It would look funny precisely because of the semantics. In that case, the sign is not just attached to a trademark but simply on a line of text which itself is already an annotation, so there is no reason for superscripting the circled R, of course. > (Record labels frequently use the symbol ℗ and sometimes use the symbols > © and ®. Generally these symbols are similarly sized and on the baseline.) (My position was that U+00AE should be displayed on the baseline.)
