    In the caption to one of the pictures, the (R) designation for Republican got auto-corrected to a registered trademark symbol. The text formatting below may match the article depending on your instance.

    Harold Ford Jr (L) and Jesse Watters ® had an awkward exchange on Fox New’s The Five on Thursday (Fox News/White Dudes for Harris)

    Edit: Fixed formatting thanks to @[email protected].

      Escape the open parenthesis by prefixing it with a backslash, like such

      \(R)

      To prevent the autocorrect to ® and produce (R) instead

        Using Mbin through a browser, I see it as (R) in my post (capital R inside parentheses). Are you saying my earlier comment with no escape character renders as the trademark symbol for you?

        Regardless, it’s rendered incorrectly in the article’s picture caption.

          Correct, for me it’s showing in both your text and the quoted text as the registered trademark symbol rather than being the (R) designation.
