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.

Steps

Easy Methods

  1. Copy and paste this symbol, as the quickest way: ©
  2. If you're using Word, use the auto-replace feature. Just type (+C+). Word will automatically enter the copyright symbol instead.
  3. If you're using another program on a Mac, hold down ⌥ Option+G.
  4. If you're using another program on a Windows PC, hold the Alt key and type 0169 in your number keypad. 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)

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

Tips

  • You can also go to System Tools and find the Character Map.
