As Els said. And here are some more!

them ;-)

Type it into the page source and send it with an appropriate encoding.

© and ® should be okay in ISO-8859-1.

It helps to have a compose key, so you don't have to copy from a character
map or remember more-complex input schemes like Windows' alt-number system.

Uh, no.

Window's alt-number system doesn't come into it. Read the other responses.

 

[Spartanicus]

Uh, no.

Why not?

 

[Toby A Inkster]

Uh, no.

Owen is perfectly correct. If you're using ISO-8859-1 (and various other
character sets) © and ® can be sent raw -- you don't need to use an
entity.

If you're using a character set like ASCII that doesn't include © then
you have to encode it somehow, e.g. as ©.

Why not?

Maybe Neal meant that "should be" is not a correct expression, in matters
where you can _know_ whether something is right or not. Or maybe that the
registered sign has nothing to do with the copyright symbol, or copyright
in general.

Refreshingly flattering! But actually, my umbrage (which was only
partially founded, actually) is that it assumes ISO-8859-1 is best for the
OP, which it very well may not be. © is useful in more situations,
and as general advice I feel is safer.

After all, character set is one of those great misunderstood areas of
computers. Someone may assume from his post that using ISO-8859-1 makes it
easier to do extended characters, without realizing there's a whole kettle
of fish that comes along.

The real crux of the issue is that people have this concept of "extended"
characters, left over from the days of 8-bit extensions to ASCII, when in
reality there are only "characters present in the current encoding", all
of which, give or take, should be treated equally.

It helps to select an appropriate encoding for the text, obviously, and
right now there aren't a lot of tools to help with that; you have to Just
Know.
