Where is the SM symbol for Service Mark hiding?

I've known the keyboard combos for trademark (™) and registered mark (®) like the back of my hand, but I can't seem to find the SM for service mark anywhere in OS X. Searches for it in the forums, knowledge base, and Google have yielded nothing.

Anyone out there now what the key-combination is for the service mark symbol? Or a particular font that's standard on OS X that has it?

Thanks!

Open the International pane of System Preferences, click on Input Menu, check the boxes for the Character Palette and the input menu, choose Show Character Palette from the menu with the flag icon, view the code tables, scroll down to Unicode 00002100, and expand the window. The symbol is the first one in the 2120 row.

Tacky to comment on my own post, but I sorted it out. I went to the keyboard manager in the menu bar, and selected Show Character Palette. Searched for Service Mark, and found it. Clicked on the Insert button to include it.

A little too Windows-y for my taste, but there you have it.

Thanks!
