Open "charmap", then select the "©" character and paste it into the label's
'Text' property (or the source code).

Either cut/paste it from CharMap, or use Alt-0169 from the keypad.

Maileen,
As the other suggested I normally include the copyright character © in the
text of a label in the About Box using ALT+0169 (in the US).

I will define constants for common characters, using the Character Map to
find the Unicode code points (number in lower left of the Character Map).

Const Copyright As Char = ChrW(&HA9)
Const Registered As Char = ChrW(&HAE)

Which is not needed per se for the copyright character © as much as its
needed for other Unicode constants, such as the various quote symbols:

' what most people think of quote chars
Const Apostrophe As Char = ChrW(&H27) ' single quotes
Const Quote As Char = ChrW(&H22) ' double quotes

' various typographic quote characters
Const LeftSingleQuote As Char = ChrW(&H2018)
Const RightSingleQuote As Char = ChrW(&H2019)
Const LeftDoubleQuote As Char = ChrW(&H201C)
Const RightDoubleQuote As Char = ChrW(&H201D)

' other typographic quote characters (international)
' Note: HP48 uses these for delimiters
Const LeftPointingDoubleAngleQuote As Char = ChrW(&HAB)
Const RightPointingDoubleAngleQuote As Char = ChrW(&HBB)

' other typographic quote characters (international)
Const SingleLow9Quote As Char = ChrW(&H201A)
Const SingleHighReversed9Quote As Char = ChrW(&H201B)
Const DoubleLow9Quote As Char = ChrW(&H201E)

FWIW: The four that are commonly used by MS Word (in the US) are
LeftSingleQuote, RightSingleQuote, LeftDoubleQuote and RightDoubleQuote.

Hope this helps
Jay
