Hi team,

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Liquibase Community, AbhishekMishra!

Liquibase supports the standard YAML format. I’m unsure whether or not YAML supports a trademark symbol, but I found [this article](https://riptutorial.com/yaml/example/25838/escaping-characters) about escaping characters in YAML. Please let us know if that helped answer your question.

Regards,  
Tabby

And to @tabbyfoo 's point. Here is the alt code for the registered trademark.
