resize and reposition the "registered sign" (®) to match the size and position of the "copyright sign" (©)

I'm not sure if the current form was intended or not, but I think the "registered sign" (®) character is too small (and too much pretending to be a superscript character) and it would be better if it matched the size (and positioning) of the "copyright sign" (©) character. It is not, so far as I know, intended to be used in superscript position (like ™ or ℠ are clearly meant to be positioned).

This discussion is a little off-topic, but contains some related information:

Yes, thank you for bringing it up. It's really a matter of taste at this point - there's no standardized way of doing it. If more people agree to this, I will change it to one of the same size as the copyright symbol.

Thanks! As-is they sure look funny side-by-side!

Agreed, but they're never used like that either!
