copyleft

 [This is a crosspost from my phlog post (gopher blog) from Saturday Mar  7  9:30:28 2026]


If you've ever visited my website 'chalsattack.com' you might have

noticed that I have a copyright sign on it. Make no mistake, I am more

the kind of copyleft guy than any other thing you can think of. But I

think I need to explain you one thing first.


In the first place, I put the copyright symbol several years ago only

because I thougt it was super cool having it on a website. I never

gave it any more importance.


Now that I am moving to a different hosting plan (same hoster,

different plan) I revised the text and thought that the copyright

should go away and enter the copyleft one. But much to my surprise I

learnt that copyleft is a mirroed copyright sign and well, I copied

and pasted the code I found on the internet but the sign refused to be

properly displayed.


Too bad. I will try again, no doubt, and I will eventually manage to

display it. I am too stubborn to give up. But I think the copyleft

symbol should have a better/easier way to be displayed.


UPDATE:


(Adding a copyright sign is as easy as typing "©") I just found

out there is "🄯" for copyleft. Let me try...)


What the heck! It works! I am a bit happier now


UPDATE 2:

"🄯" works too in html. "🄯" is hex. "U+1F12F" is unicode
