    The copyright symbol isn't always valid depending on character set encoding, you should be able to use © instead.

    You need to escape it using © because it's a special character.

    It is what it's.

    ...the result of leaving extra windows open in the background. What robfitz said!

    It is what it's.

    Would also stress, if you want to be fully XHTML compliant, you probably need to use the HTML entity reference for © instead of this. Its not absolutely essential, but you may come across issues in the future if you use escape sequences that are not declared in the XHTML DTD.

    The HTML reference for copyright is & #169; (deliberate space.)
