The copyright symbol (©) is appearing smaller on Mac browser

The copyright symbol (©) is appearing smaller on my Mac browser. I have tried © and the ::before pseudo element but they are rendered smaller than the text surrounding it on Macs. Do I have to insert an image to make this work?

<p> &copy;Copyright <span></span> (company name). All Rights Reserved </p>

  1. You don't tell us what font you're using; perhaps it is not installed on your Mac, and it's defaulting to a different font? Inspect and verify that it's displaying the font that you think it is.

  2. Try changing the font of the copyright symbol to a fixed-width or type safe font; like Georgia, Consolas, or Verdana, like so:

// Style
copyright { font-family: Georgia, Consolas, Verdana }

<span>&copy;</span>

  1. If you set your character set to UTF-8, you can also try just using the symbol itself (not the &copy;) like so:
meta charset="UTF-8"> span>©</span> 
<p> <span>©</span>Copyright <span></span> (company name). All Rights Reserved </p>

Change font-size:__; of symbol to adjust size...

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Copyright Symbol Size</title> <style> #copyright-symbol{ font-size: 3em; } </style> </head> <body> <p> <span>&copy;</span>Copyright <span></span> (company name). All Rights Reserved </p> </body> </html>
