HTML Copyright Symbol (inserting the Copyright Symbol in HTML pages)
HTML supports special symbols that are not on your keyboard.
The special symbol code for the copyright symbol © on HTML is ©.
The code is defined by starting with a & (ampersand) and finishing with a ; (semicolon).
An example code using the special symbol name would be as follows.
<p> © 2004 John Doe </p>
However, to ensure that there are no mishaps and you ALWAYS get the proper read from HTML documents, you should try to always use the number code instead of the symbol code. The number is ©
An example code using the special symbol number would be as follows.
<p> © 2004 John Doe </p>
