Copyright symbol in batch

Question

I'm trying output a copyright symbol in DOS using echo. For example:

echo Copyright(c) by Nastrodamus

How do I get that (c) symbol in batch? The regular © doesn't work.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the console's font does not support a copywrite character. The Alt-0169 character in Windows Times Roman font that shows a copywrite character is in fact a 'corner' like character in the Terminal font.

Commonly a (C) is used in its place in 'console' applications.

For a frequently typed symbol such as "©", the keyboard shortcut is probably faster than starting another program.

There should be a way in later Win's to do that...
