U+00A9 "©" Copyright Sign Unicode Character

U+00A9 "©" Copyright Sign is a typographic symbol indicating legal copyright ownership of a work, such as text, music, or art. It is derived from the letter "C" enclosed within a circle, a design standardized in the Latin-1 Supplement block of Unicode. In digital contexts, it is commonly used in footers or disclaimers to assert that a creation may not be reproduced or distributed without the owner's permission. Although its use is not legally required in many jurisdictions today, it remains a widely recognized marker of intellectual property rights.
