Copyright Symbol

[ecntrc]

Im wanting to put a C with a circle aka copyright symbol.. duh.. id ont think any ofyou are stupid.. just being sure.. lol.. yeah.. so i want to put that at the bottom of my site, but i used the Alt 0169 and it turned out as a question mark.. Id like to use the font that Im using through out the site.. or something close to it.. do you think changing the font would matter...?? any suggestions to get it to work by clicking alt 0169 or something else?? I tried pasting and copying but that dosent work either.. thanks in advanced..

For some fonts, the ALT 0169 doesn't produce the symbol you want.
An alternative method could be to type the C, on it's own layer, then use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to create the cirle around the C and Stroke it with the same color as your font. (Right-click inside the selection and choose Stroke...).
Then you can resize it and move it to where you want.

For those who don't know, most fonts contain the following (hidden) symbols:
Symbol > Mac > PC
Copyright (C inside circle) > Option - G > Alt 0169
Trademark (little TM) > Option - 2 > Alt 0153
Registered (R inside circle) > Option - R > Alt 0174

theres the symobol list in the program menü of windows

Guys - just use this site. I always reference it or steal their copyright symbols that they have for free

You can even do it easier in Photoshop CS.. There's a copyright symbol in the custom shapes list...

Not to be nit-picky or anything, guys, but she did say that she wanted to use a specific font, not just any old symbol.

yeah I said I wanted a specific font.. because it dosent match.. but i havent found anything so..

when you get a question mark in photoshop (and you're using a custom font), that means the font you're using didn't put the copyright symbol in their series.
