How to Make Your Own Copyright Symbol
Lately I’ve noticed some publishers of online content using a c within parentheses (c) when they want to copyright their work or give proper credit to another’s copyrighted work. This use of the (c) is understandable since there is no © button on any of our keyboards and no quick fix is currently provided in many of the blogging platforms.
So what’s a conscientious online publisher to do?
The good news is that the solution is pretty straight forward. Rather than typing (c) in your publishing platform, you can type in the following six characters where you want your © symbol placed:
That is the HTML code for the © sign. When your blog post is published it will turn that into this –
©.
And if that solution doesn’t appeal to you for some reason, you can always simply copy and paste an already rendered © symbol from another post, like this one.
©
When looking into how to copyright your work also be sure and consider publishing your work under a Creative Commons license. If you go that increasingly popular route you can communicate your copyright terms with one of their images.
