U+00A9 Copyright Sign
U+00A9 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Latin-1 Supplement in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+00A9 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “copyright” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: C.
This character is designated as an emoji. It will be rendered as monochrome character on conforming platforms. To enable colorful emoji display, you can combine it with Variation Selector-16: ©️ See the Emojipedia for more details on this character’s emoji properties.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The copyright symbol, or copyright sign, © (a circled capital letter C for copyright), is the symbol used in copyright notices for works other than sound recordings. The use of the symbol is described by the Universal Copyright Convention. The symbol is widely recognized but, under the Berne Convention, is no longer required in most nations to assert a new copyright.
