Copyright Symbol in CSS :after Pseudo-Element

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:
