Ok, now we know that (C) ["c" in a circle] is "copyright", that (P)
[same idea] has something to do with player pianos, and that (TM) is
for "trademark", but...

	What is (U) for?

I've seen it on a box of Cheerios.  'Struth!  On the front of the box
it said "Cheerios" in great big letters, then had a U in a circle where
the (R) [Registered trademark] would normally be.  Maybe it's for
UNregistered trademark???
