trade mark ™️ - OzVoca Emoji Details
trade mark
The trade mark emoji is a mark that shows a name is the official name of a specific brand or product. It's attached to names that are protected by law.
This symbol means that other people cannot use this name freely. You can easily find this mark next to the names of famous companies or products.
Besides its legal meaning, it's also used jokingly among teens and people in their 20s. They add it after their own nicknames or catchphrases to humorously express a feeling of 'This is my signature!'
This humorous usage is closely related to internet meme culture, where people playfully claim ownership of certain words or expressions. Unlike the ® (R) symbol, which means it's an officially registered trademark, the ™️ mark indicates that it's being used as a trademark regardless of registration, so it tends to be used more casually.
