As while updating status posts or while commenting in Facebook, there is only possibility to add plain text. The other ways of expressing texts like superscript or subscript font or typing any number in exponent symbols are not possible to type in Facebook just as we type any other text, alphabets or numbers.

- Press "Alt" key and use the below mentioned set of keys for different exponent factors.

Keyboard Keys to insert "TM" symbol in Facebook
In Facebook there is no such tool that can offer you to insert symbols into text. But there are some "Keyboard shortcut" keys that can be used for doing so. In my earlier posts, there was a trick or certain combination of keys to insert "Check Mark" symbol in Facebook.
Special symbols can be added or inserted in Facebook with the help of keyboard keys.
The famous symbol of "TradeMark" if you have noticed cannot be added in Facebook just like that.
This symbol cannot be just typed in the post as it is basically in the "SuperScript" fashion. Hence using of keys is mandatory.
If you want to add this symbol to indicate that a particular company is unregistered in Facebook then use these keyboard keys :
- In Facebook, click in the text area where you want to add this symbol
- Hold the "Alt" key and press the number keys 0,1,5 and 3
- The symbol appears in the superscript manner
Note:
- These combination of keys works in both Firefox and Google Chrome
- Before using the number keys on your keyboard, check whether the "Num Lock" is on
Cool idea of using keys for inserting "TM" symbol in Facebook posts.
Types of links "Facebook" allows to insert
In Facebook, you have the facility to insert links in two different ways.
One is by inserting the URL of a web page directly into the post or the text where you want to give the information with the use of a URL. And second way is by using "@" tags.
The using of "@" tags with the name will link to the profile of the Facebook user informing him or her about you mentioning in your status update.

Thus showing the new visitors how popular it is and how much it is liked by others.This will make it more popular and more likeable. In a way it is good for businessmen who have business fan pages and also for customers or consumers who visit their pages.
The rating system is in the test mode and will be soon implemented for all users. The system uses rating out of total five stars how many to be given to a particular page.
The screenshot of the image of a fan page with "Ratings" is displayed below.
The rate in the above fan page is 2.5 stars. Good to decide the popularity, liking, fans, etc of a fan page.
According to Facebook spokesperson: "We�re extending star ratings on Facebook from mobile to desktop � to make it easier for people to discover great businesses around them. This is beneficial for both businesses and consumers. Star ratings encourage more people to rate a business, making it eligible to appear in News Feed and help others discover a business they didn�t know about previously. For businesses themselves, this also leads to greater brand awareness.
As you may recall, star ratings launched in early 2012 with the introduction of Nearby on mobile. Now we�re bringing the visibility of star ratings to a more prominent spot at the top of Pages� timeline on desktop and to the preview in News Feed."
