Having difficulty exhibiting ©

[vanderbolt]

My pages made in XHTML 1.0 do not show the copyright symbol properly. In my code I have "Copyright ©" but the browser shows "Copyright ©". Does anyone know why this is happening?

It should either be html encoded as © or © if you want to support some older browsers, have you done that, or just put the copyright symbol directly into HTML (if you've done that than it shouldn't pass validation).

What charset are you declaring on the page? How are you editing the page (what program/environment)? I suspect there's a mismatch. As Dijkgraaf suggests, you can use

©

as a safe alternative if you are using a charset which does not include the copyright character.
