When to use it

Used in copyright notices such as “© 2026 Company Name”. The symbol alone doesn’t create copyright — it only states it.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&copy;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00A9"; }

const s = "\u00A9";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type copyright symbol

  • Windows: hold Alt and type 0169 on the numeric keypad.
  • Mac: Option + G (US keyboard layout).
  • Linux: Ctrl + Shift + U, then A9 and Enter.
HTML Entity EncoderEscape < > & " so text is safe to show in HTML, convert accents and symbols to named or numeric entities, or decode entity-filled HTML back to plain text.
