ASCII is only defined of 0 through 127.

But that's not the whole story. There is also something called "Extended ASCII", which (under Windows) does include a copyright symbol. But the extended ASCII character set is different depending on who you talk to. (IBM's extended set does not include the copyright symbol). This is probably the problem Peter is banging his head against. It may look like there's an ASCII code for the copyright symbol, but it depends on who's character set you're using. And to make matters worse, even if the extended set you're using does include the copyright symbol, there's no guarantee it will be in the same position. It's just like being back in the world of CLUTs. :(
