They could only do it because ™ is a special character and just like ©. So to sum it up you can't add subscript to file names. The only way they did it was because it was a special character. If you want to add special characters like that go to the character map. (If you are using a Windows machine)

How do I go to the character map in Win Xp Sp3 Home Edition and how do you create shortcuts manually without using right click and create shortcut???

I don't have an XP computer running right now but I believe it is Start->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map. Then find the symbol you want to use and select it. It will then appear in the Characters To Copy field, click copy (next to the field). Then find the file you want it to be in. Right click it hit rename and the hit Control + V which is the shortcut key to paste. Hope that helps.
