How to Make a Copyright Symbol on a Computer

Easy Methods

Copy and paste this symbol, as the quickest way: ©

Use the auto-replace feature, if using Microsoft Word. Just type (+C+). Word will automatically enter the copyright symbol instead.

Hold down ⌥ Option+G if using another program on a Mac.

Hold the Alt key and type 0169 in your number keypad if using another program on a Windows PC. It won't necessarily work if you use the numbers at the top of your keyboard. If you are using a laptop that has a function key (Fn) then hold down Alt+Fn as you type the numbers. You may need to have Numlock on for this to work. If none of these options work, try the Character Map method (below).

Using the Character Map (Windows)

Open the run dialog box by holding down the Windows and R key.

Type in charmap.exe and hit ↵ Enter. You will be presented with a character map

Click on "Advanced view", if not already open.

Search for "copyright."

Select the character, copy it. Paste it to your required file.
