SOLVED – used \00a9 instead of ©

Pretty self-explanatory:

body:after {
    content: "© me";
    /* other formatting */
}

In HTML, the © sequence inserts a copyright character. Can this be done in CSS Pseudo-Elements like I’m trying to do here?

    CSS doesn’t use HTML’s entities; it uses its own unicode escape sequences.

    You need to use \00a9 for the copyright symbol.

    body:after {
  content:"\00a9 me";
}

    See here for a cheat-sheet table which shows just about every entity/unicode string you’d ever need: http://www.evotech.net/blog/2007/04/named-html-entities-in-numeric-order/
