Subject:	Best way to write the registered trademark symbol in HTML?

Question: What's the best, cleanest way to represent a -raised- registered trademark symbol in HTML -- for example, next to the word LEGO? I used to write: ...blah blah LEGO® blah blah... and that looks pretty good in most cases for regular Times body type. But the problem is that it's a PITA to type and it induces extra leading between the current and preceding lines. So I've switched now to: ...blah blah LEGO® blah blah... which is easier to type and also still looks pretty good and doesn't have the leading problem. It's too bad that the ® symbol in typical digital typefaces isn't small and raised like the TM symbol typically is. :-( Ah well. --Todd p.s. I never shrink or raise the ® symbol when it appears next to "LEGO" inside of a hyperlink tag (<A>...</A>), otherwise the underlining goes all goofy on me. Fortunately, at least for TM still works great without modification inside of <A>...</A>.
