superscript in page title

I have a wordpress site using the Pinnacle theme from Kadence. I need to add a superscript registered trademark symbol (®) to certain terms on the site. I’m accomplishing this in the content of posts with the following HTML:
^{<span style="font-size: small;">®</span>}

Unfortunately that approach doesn’t seem to work for post titles, as there are some places, like the search results page, where the theme is generating HTML element attributes from the page title (i.e. <a href=[link] title=[post title]>). Having HTML in the page title breaks these pages.

Is there a way to customize the theme to prevent this? Either by suppressing the population of the “title” attribute, or perhaps by stripping out the HTML in those cases?

Alternately, is there another way I can be going about ensuring all ® symbols are superscript across the site without resorting to HTML in post_title? I’ve floated the idea of switching to a typeface that includes a native superscript trademark symbol, but I’m not sure my client is willing to make that change.

Any advice would be appreciated.
