    Cristina,

    There is no character encoded in Unicode which is a superscript
    capital M with capital R. I have never seen MR set in type in the
    same way that TM is, and indeed the abbreviation seems a bit doubtful
    to me. (Marca Registrada is usually used for 'registered (trade)ark'
    while "trademark" proper is 'marca de fábrica'.) For "Registered
    Trademark" you can use the circled R.
