add copyright symbol

[Chris Z]

hey i've got a question,

i think i've done it before, anyway i just created a new page on my website (http://neptunerevival.x10hosting.com) and i'm trying to add a copyright sign at the bottom of the page. I try inserting "&copy" and i also have tried just actually clicking the symbol button while in the html editor and adding it, but when you view it, it just shows up as a question mark with a box around it, my archive page (http://neptunerevival.x10hosting.com/web/default.htm) has a copyright symbol at the bottom of the page, but i can't seem to get a copyright symbol on my new page.

thanks in advance!

You mean: ©

alt-0169

 

[Chris Z]

yes, that's the one i want, but did you go to the first site, it'll come up with some question mark in a diamond, and what is the "alt-0169" for, where do i input that or w/e?

 

[Dub_Dude]

Well if you are using &copy then you're missing the ;

It should be ©

 

[Chris Z]

like i said, i entered the copyright symbol in by clicking the symbol button and selecting the copyright symbol also, but i guess i'll try manually entering that in

 

[Dub_Dude]

I might be wrong on that though, it was just a thought

If you're talking about the copyright symbol on the right of your home page, it is displaying fine for me. In web applications © will display the copyright symbol.

actually, it doesn't display correctly in firefox. Only in IE.

Hold ALT and press 0 then 1 then 6 then 9 on your KEYPAD (not the digit keys on the keyboard). Make sure your Num Lock is ON so the keypad works

©¿© LOLZ!!1

Well, then it must be the font you are using because I'm using firefox and the © at the bottom of this page is working prefectly. I've never had a problem with it.

 

[Chris Z]

i'm viewing this in IE now on a different computer, and it still shows a question mark, not the actual © symbol

 

[Janis]

Now it works for me, I see the symbol.

I'm using Firefox

 

[Chris Z]

hmm that's really wierd, i've tried it on 3 computers now and it still just shows a question mark, lol wtf?

Your encoding has problems. Fix it.

 

[Chris Z]

heh? you wanna speak english please? i didn't right it in html, i made it with microsoft expression web designer then tried adding that copyright on there within the web editor of my x10 account and it did the same thing, the infamous "?"

 

[PSP-Heaven]

He means encoding, by how the explorer displays the coding. Right click, then like choose encode format or something, i forgot how it was in IE.

 

[Chris Z]

ya, alright thanks, i just fixed that and it is showing up ok, that's wierd though because it was showing up when i edit it in the html editor, but not when it was actually published, thank you for the explanation, PSP-Heaven

According to http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/design/html-character-entities-cheat-sheet/

Apart from © we can also use © for the copyright symbol.

It doesn't show the code - here it is again "& # 1 6 9 ;" without the spaces in between. When we put them together we get the above symbol.

 

[Chris Z]

doesn't this work too, i've never tried it, but ( C ) (w/o the spaces obviously)?
