Detailed Introduction
The ©️ emoji displays the copyright symbol, a universal sign used to indicate that a creative work (such as text, images, music, or videos) is legally protected by copyright law. It signifies that the creator or owner holds exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work. Common uses include marking original content online, in publications, or on digital media to assert ownership and deter unauthorized use. It conveys formality and legal protection rather than an emotional tone, often appearing with a year and copyright holder's name (e.g., ©️ 2023 Example Corp).
