If you are using a Wintel PC (Windows Operating System and an Intel Processor [or AMD -- the distinction is made between Motorola Power PC chip architecture and the Intel/AMD architecture]) and running Word or similar word processor, put NumLock on, hold down the ALT key, and type in the numbers 1, 6, and 9 on the numeric keypad. Then release the ALT key.
Instructions for Macintosh based systems/software are different, I don't know them off hand.
Or, in a web-based medium such as this board, simply type © surrounded by the html tags Thusly: [h t m l ] © [/ h t m l], but remove the spaces between the letters inside the square brackets. The result follows:
An easier way, inside of Microsoft Word, is to choose Symbol from the Insert drop down menu, and you will be presented with the special characters that you can put in your document. The ALT+Number method works better for transportability between programs.
This is, by the way, a method for beating the automatic word censor.
