copyright symbol

edited May 2017 in FastReport VCL 5
Hello all;
I need to put a copyright symbol on all our report forms. I have tried using the ALT+0169 ascii code and that worked in Delphi Rad Studio 10.1 but when I printed out the report form it printed out the pound symbol instead. I have also tried the left bracket-c-right bracket but the Boss doesn't like it.
Is there a special symbol within Fast Report or a special method I should use to achieve my goal?

Thanks in advance

    This sounds like my problem with the symbol for Rupee (Indian Currency)...

    What is the Charset for the field where ?© is supposed to appear?

    See previous thread on Unicode problems

    Cheers
  • If someone else is having trouble with the copyright symbol, you could try using Ⓒ (U+24B8) or ⓒ (U+24D2). However, these are not official copyright symbols, so use them accordingly.

  • Using non-standard Unicode symbols like Ⓒ (U+24B8) can lead to font rendering issues on different printers. If ALT+0169 is printing as a pound symbol (£) in FastReport, it means the output font is using ANSI character mapping instead of Unicode.

    To fix this properly:

    1. Set the FastReport Memo object font to a standard Unicode font like Arial or Segoe UI.
    2. Enable AllowHTMLTags on the text field and use © instead of raw keyboard codes.

    If you need clean copy-paste entities and standard character codes for your reports, you can grab them from this copyright symbol reference guide.
