Question

Does any one know how to display the copyright icon in UILabel text? This is the icon with a circle around c. The html code for it is: © or ©.

I tried the following code:

UILabel *contactInfo = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(-55,135,420,100)];
contactInfo.text = @"'©):'2009 Nationwide ";

or

contactInfo.text = @"'©'2009 Nationwide ";

or

contactInfo.text = @"©2009 Nationwide ";

It just prints everything as text and no icon.

This would work in a webView but I need it as UILabel text.
Any help?

If your source files are in UTF-8, what they should be, this should work just fine. Otherwise you should use .strings-files in combination with the NSLocalizedString() macro and put your text into UTF-16 files.

Works for me: myUILabel.text = @"© by me";

Edit:
Now that I see that you’ve tried to insert the symbol as HTML entity – this does not work, just insert the symbol as it appears.
