Use a text layer first
Select the Type Tool, click your canvas, and paste © into the text layer. You can then style it like any other character: change the font, size, color, tracking, and baseline.
If the symbol looks wrong
Try a different font. Some display fonts do not include every legal symbol. A clean sans-serif font usually renders © more reliably in logos, mockups, watermarks, and posters.
Keep it readable
Do not make the copyright mark so small that it becomes a blur. In exported images, test the final size, especially for social posts and thumbnails.

Where this symbol is useful
the symbol is most useful when you are preparing public-facing text: product pages, app screens, website footers, marketplace listings, social captions, PDFs, and slide decks. The main goal is clarity. Put the symbol close to the name or work it refers to, and keep the same formatting throughout the page.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not replace the symbol with a letter, a small superscript image, or a look-alike character. If the notice is legal or commercial, double-check whether the situation calls for copyright, trademark, or registered trademark language. The right symbol makes the text look more professional and avoids confusing readers.
