You’ve probably seen the copyright sign quite often. This is mainly used for sources for images on the Internet. There is no dedicated key for this on the keyboard. We’ll show you which key combination you can use to use the copyright symbol on Windows and Mac.

In order to be able to use the copyright sign on the keyboard, you have to take a small detour. Because: The sign has not such as the “@-Sign” [Alt Gr] + [Q] – one own key on the keyboard. For the copyright symbol you have to use the number pad on the far right of your keyboard. Now hold these [Alt]key and enters the number combination 0169. The copyright sign will then appear in your text field.

Important: Make sure the number pad is activated. Usually you click on the Num Lock key, which then lights up.

This is how it works with Word and Outlook

You can also use the copyright sign in the Office applications Word and Outlook. It’s easier there: Either as in the step above using the number block or you press the key combination [Strg] + [Alt] + [C] on the keyboard. Then the copyright sign is inserted.

Certain versions of Word and Outlook have the copyright symbol automatically converted by default. If you write (C) – i.e. C in brackets – the program automatically converts the letter into the copyright symbol. Pretty practical.
