Is it safe to use ™ and ® on URLs?

I have tried with a couple browsers and I don't see any problems. I know the idea of using these on URL doesn't sound good, but
would I have any real problems if I do use them?

Using them would save me a lot of head squeezing I'm doing now.

Thanks,
Paco

you shouldn't have any problems using them on URL's just so long as it isn't in the href tag, and the browser that's viewing it is set up with the Latin alphabet

Note that if they are part of an URL I can use them inside an a tag in the href part.

Depend of the part of the URL. And if you did code the call write they should had been transform to %xx.

The only caracters accept in a URL is: a-z A-Z 0-9 - . _ / : ? #
And the last 4 mean something in the URL.

They might cause problems if you are using Response.Redirect , i had some problems with stuff like that before

Just make sure Response.Buffer = TRUE if you are using it

try

"/henewlink.asp?val=" & Server.URLEncode( "These are weird chars ™ and ® on " )

i can't see any reason why this wouldn't work
