How to Make a Copyright Symbol on a Computer

If you need to use a copyright symbol but aren't quite sure how to type it, there are a few easy answers.

2
Use the auto-replace feature, if using Microsoft Word. Just type (+C+). Word will automatically enter the copyright symbol instead.
3
Hold down ⌥ Option+G if using another program on a Mac.
4
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).

1
Open the run dialog box by holding down the Windows and R key.
2
Type in charmap.exe and hit ↵ Enter.
- You will be presented with a character map
3
Click on "Advanced view", if not already open.

Search for "copyright."
5
Select the character, copy it. Paste it to your required file.
