How to put a quote icon (copyright)

Working with the documentation or simply "walking" on the Internet, we have seen this quote icon - ©. In fact, initially this symbol was created with the purpose of informing others about copyright protection for a work, but nowadays it is often used to quote someone's statements, even though it is incorrect.

Faced with something many, but not everyone knows how to put it on the keyboard. If you are one of those who are interested in learning how to make a quote icon, then this article is designed specifically for you.

Copywriter icon: how to find out?

Probably, each of us knows how this character looks - the Latin letter C (from the word - copyright), placed in the center of the circle. Using this sign does not guarantee you additional rights, but only notifies other people that the copyright belongs to you. Often this symbol is used to quote someone's statements, even though it does not conform to spelling.

What does this sign mean?

The © symbol was created to notify about copyright protection. The absence of this sign does not at all mean that they are not protected. This is because the copyright protection does not require any registration, and it arises at the time of creating a work. It is used by those people who own copyrights. It can be both physical and legal persons.

When using such a symbol, as a rule, an additional year of publication is indicated, and sometimes a date range. In Russia, the presence or absence of a copyright symbol does not affect the licensing of a work, but in other countries it is necessary to provide copyright protection.

This symbol is widely used when quoting someone's words, but according to the norms of the Russian language this is considered not entirely correct, because the purpose of creating the © icon is informing other people about the protection of copyright on an object.
