html: © doesn't show

Question

when i wrote © in my page it doesn't show the copyright symbol,

and show the point instead, just . it shows. maybe you know why? thanks

Answer 1

Put the copyright symbol in a <span> tag and in your css use a font that works.

    .copyright {
        font-family: Arial,
             "Helvetica Neue",
             Helvetica,
             sans-serif;
    }

    <span class="copyright">&copy;</span>2007 Syom Industries

Answer 2

Most likely — because the font you are using has a broken copyright character in it.

Without a test case it is hard to make a guess beyond that.
