How to Add Copyright Symbols to a Web Page

Add copyright and trademark symbols to your web page using HTML.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Open the page in a text editing program, such as EditPad or Notepad. Place the cursor where the symbol will appear.

2. Add the circled C copyright symbol by typing the following (without the brackets): <©> OR <©>.

3. Use the circle R Registered Trademark symbol by typing the following (without the brackets):<®>.

4. Type the small 'tm' Trademark symbol by typing the following (without the brackets): <'>.

5. Save the page and open it in a browser to view it. If the code is correctly entered, you will see the symbol; otherwise, you will see the text of what you typed.

Tips & Warnings

• All symbols have a numeric code, while some entities have both a text code and numeric code. For example, the copyright symbol can be either entered as <©> or <©>.
• All entities begin with an ampersand (&) and end with a semi-colon (;).
• Numeric entity codes always begin with an ampersand and a numeric pound (#) symbol.
• Some older browsers will not recognize character entities. Viewers will simply see the code text.

on 1/8/2007 The copyright symbol in my previous post should have read thus: "& c o p y ;" without the spacing.

on 1/8/2007 Instead of placing special characters into the HTML code, it would be preferable to use "©" so that you would have compatibility with all browsers.
