copyright symbol definition
character, legal "©" The internationally recognised symbol required to introduce a
copyright notice, a letter C with a circle around it. This can be encoded in
ISO 8859-1 as character code decimal 169, hexadecimal A9, in
HTML as ©, © or ©.
A "c" in parentheses: "(c)" is sometimes used in documents stored in a
coded character set such as
ASCII that does not include the C in a circle, but this has no legal meaning.
