Copyright Emoji

Symbols

A white letter C enclosed within a circular border. This icon serves as the standard legal marker for copyright protection of creative works.

Usage Context

Used frequently in digital communication to assert ownership over intellectual property, content, or original ideas. It is often placed before a name or a year to signal a formal legal claim, functioning similarly to the ® registered trademark sign or the ™ trademark symbol.

History

The copyright symbol has its roots in the Universal Copyright Convention of 1952. Its inclusion in digital character sets like Unicode allowed users to easily mark content as protected during the early days of the internet, helping creators identify their work in an era before automated digital rights management.
