How Do You Do a Copyright Symbol
On a Mac, it’s laughably simple. Press Option + G, and poof—© appears like magic. It’s the same muscle memory you use for that “™” symbol when you’re joking about your cat’s “brand.”
On Windows, you hold down the Alt key and type 0169 on the numeric keypad. Yes, it’s a little clunky. But once you do it three times, your fingers will remember quicker than your brain does.
For Chromebook users—bless your minimalist souls—you’ll need to press Ctrl + Shift + U, then type 00A9 and hit Enter. It’s not exactly a vibe, but it works every time.
Smart Devices & Social Media Savvy
On iPhone or iPad, tap and hold the “%” key on your keyboard. A tiny bubble will pop up offering you the ©. It’s like a little gift from Apple for tapping twice.
Android users can find it by tapping the ?123 key, then switching to the =\< page. Scroll left and tap it. Or, just copy-paste from this sentence: ©. We won’t judge.
On social media—Instagram, TikTok, X—text boxes don’t always support special characters. The trick is to copy it from a notes app and paste it into your caption. It’s one extra step, but your content will look instantly more professional.
