The copyright symbol © is one of the most commonly needed special characters. Whether you're adding a copyright notice to your website footer, marking your brand with ™ or ®, or writing legal documents—these symbols are essential.
Finding © on your keyboard isn't always easy. On Windows it requires Alt+0169, on Mac it's Option+G. The trademark ™ and registered ® symbols are even harder to type from memory. That's why we've collected every legal and intellectual property symbol in one place, ready to copy with a single click.
All symbols on this page are standard Unicode characters. They work in every application—Word documents, emails, websites, social media posts, and any text field. They display identically on all devices and operating systems.
Our collection includes every intellectual property and legal notation symbol available in Unicode. Bookmark this page for instant access whenever you need the correct legal symbol for contracts, websites, product packaging, or any professional document.
