This is actually will not work because the data when using vi in UNIX it shows up as  
"View\342\204\242 Accessory" for "View� Accessory" in Windows.

</div>

```nohighlight
# less trade
    �
   <99>

```

```nohighlight
# sed 's/[]/THIS IS TRADEMARK/;s/�/THIS IS REGISTRED TM/' trade
 THIS IS REGISTRED TM
THIS IS TRADEMARK
 
 

```

- --\>  
in this example for TM symbol equal to [] symbol and for this use to ALt+153 so this actually [Alt+153]
