How it works
The copyright sign © is the letter C inside a circle. Its Unicode code point is U+00A9, and it is widely supported in websites, documents, image credits, app footers, and printed materials. The symbol itself can be copied and formatted like other text.
The U.S. Copyright Office describes a copyright notice as generally containing the © symbol or an accepted word or abbreviation, the year of first publication, and the name of the copyright owner. A simple visual pattern is © 2026 Example Studio. Rules about when notice is optional or required depend on the work and publication history.
This tool only copies characters and provides general formatting information. It does not determine ownership, registration, or whether a notice is legally sufficient. Use the linked Copyright Office circular or professional advice for a specific legal question.
