copyright Emoji Meaning
The ©️ symbol (Unicode U+00A9 U+FE0F) is the international sign for copyright. It’s used to indicate that someone claims legal rights over an original work, such as a song, photo, written content, software, or artwork. In many contexts, it’s followed by the publication year and the name of the copyright owner (for example, “© 2026 Acme”). While it signals a copyright claim, it’s often presented as part of standard copyright notices rather than a guarantee of eligibility or enforcement. Use it in metadata, footers, and credits to clearly attribute ownership.
