What ©️ means

The © sign. It means copyright: someone owns a creative work.

Creators add ©️ with their name to art and photos. In chat it is often a joke: 'that phrase is mine ©️' after a clever line, to claim it before anyone else does. It pairs with ™️ for mock-legal claims.

Facts

Copyright ©️ is an emoji in the symbols category, under other symbol. It is one of the early emoji from Japanese phones, standardized in Unicode 6.0 (2010). On GitHub, Slack and other apps you can type it as :copyright:. People also look for it with words like “C”.
