Special characters on package name

I'm trying to install Skype to Windows using package type: package { 'Skype[TM symbol here] 7.5': ensure => "$skype_version", source => "$fileserver\\$skype_installer", } This installs Skype. But Skype gets installed with like name like this: `Skype[Trademark symbol] 7.5` This is how program name appears on Windows list of installed programs: ![image description](/upfiles/14527527441204423.png) Because of this Puppet thinks that Skype is not installed and tries to reinstall it on every run. How can I write this Trademark symbol to the package name on Puppet manifest so that would know that the package already exists?
