That's not HTML.  It looks a lot like a Microsoft-ism, though.

Actually, it looks like it to me :)

Nope.  Numeric entities between 128 and 159 are explicitly undefined.
It won't show as TM in (AFAIK) any non-Windows browser unless you have
configured windows-emulation.

Any RiscOS folks around?  AIUI RiscOS has its own meanings for these
undefined entities, and they are *different* from the Windoze-proprietary
characters, so RiscOS users can expect to see something altogether
different again.

Yup - Just checked on my RiscOS machine - Character 153 is the em rule. The 
trademark symbol under RiscOS is &#141; - ther you go!

Another kludge - how about creating a small gif (png?) picture of the TM 
character? <stands well back from the flames>
