Superscript registered mark '®' inside select menu

Question

Is is possible to have a superscript registered mark "®" inside a select menu? If so, how is this done? Can you use CSS to achieve this?

Answer 1

There's no way to make a single character superscript inside an <option>. You're stuck with a regular ® (®).

Answer 2

You can achieve results in tough cases using this method to superscript special characters with jQuery. But I must admit that inside an option... I'm blank.
