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.

Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Kyle2008
Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks! Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution. Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...? comment feed...
