Hi, i am trying to check for ™ or © symbols that are in the Target but not in the source.

I have tried the following but with no luck

Source: -™|©  
Target: ™|©  
Search Mode: Regular Expressions  
PowerSearch: ON

Thanks

I have tested your search and it works. Try to search only in target to find segments that contain the symbols. If search results show any segments that does not contain symbols in source, post it here so that we can have a look.

I do apologize, it seems i did not set the status of the segments to Translated. Once i set them to Translated, the regex worked.

Thanks
