How to Type and Use Copyright and Trademark Symbols.
HTML Symbol Entities. HTML entities were described in the previous chapter. Many mathematical, technical, and currency symbols, are not present on a normal keyboard. To add such symbols to an HTML page, you can use an HTML entity name. If no entity name exists, you can use an entity number, a decimal, or hexadecimal reference.This page contains HTML code for adding the copyright symbol to your website or blog. There are two main ways to display the copyright symbol on a webpage; use the HTML entity number, or use the HTML entity name. Regardless of which method you use, the copyright symbol will appear the same when rendered in the browser.This article describes the procedure for how you can add the copyright symbol to your web page either directly using HTML, or in Dreamweaver, BlueGriffon, KompoZer or Nvu.
On any other software you must press ALT and press 0169 in your numeric pad, it will show the copyright symbol as well. The copyright symbol can be used on any digital or paper content but must be associated by real proof of copyright.In some font sets, the copyright symbol may need to be reduced in size to keep from appearing oversized next to the adjacent text. If certain copyright symbols don't appear or display incorrectly, check the font. Some fonts may not have these copyright symbols mapped to the same position. For copyright symbols that appear superscripted, reduce their size by 55% to 60% of the text size.
For works first published after March 1, 1989, use of the copyright symbol is optional. Nonetheless, using the copyright symbol and your name in connection with your work helps to identify you as its owner and puts the public on notice that your work has copyright protection.
