17 0x0038 (8) 0x0028 (parenleft) 0x0038 (8) 0x0028 (parenleft) 0x005b (bracketleft) 0x0ac9 (trademark) 0x005b

So it seems the symbol is there in the used code page that is "de" in
TDE Control Center.
When I switch to "en" its not there anymore.
$ xmodmap -pk | grep -i trade
$ echo $?

Thanks, Nik. I hadn't had that file on my system. Its in package
x11proto-dev which I installed and there it is:
$ cat /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h | grep -i trade
#define XK_trademark 0x0ac9 /* U+2122 TRADE MARK SIGN */
#define XK_trademarkincircle 0x0acb
Now, the question remains, how do I know the keys to invoke/print/type
that (or any) symbol on a given keyboard configuration…
Kind regards,
Stefan
