If you're using Mac, hit Option G. Works fine, as Photoshop treats it just like another letter. Don't know about PC, but it would be crazy if they didn't also have something as easy.

There may be a little confusion after reading some of the above replies. First, press and hold down the Alt key. While holding down the Alt key, then press and release the 0, then the 1, then the 6 and then the 9 key on the numeric pad. Note that the "Num Lock" does not need to be engaged. After keying the 9, then release the Alt key.
This clarification is provided as some of the replies above imply that the keys must all be pressed simultaneously. They should be pressed separately. And, the zero 0 must be included. Alt + 169 does not work.

The one thing that no one has yet mentioned, even though it seems obvious, is that the text tool must be selected in order to get the copyright symbol. Selecting any other tool will yield unacceptable results.
I really felt a bit silly about asking this question, but I thank all of you for your answers. It does work.

Hi Jackie,
Why dont you just use the custom shape tool then select the copyright symbol and drag it to where you want it. Please let me know how you do it please.
Hidden deep withing the bowels of your windows machine is a utility called Character Map.
I find it thorough the incredibly cumbersome Start menu: Start--> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map (whew!)
It lets you select a font and you then see all the possible symbols. You can copy any symbol from there to your other application. Just make sure you're using the same font in both places.

I've never noticed if this is true or not but I've read that the NUMLOCK must be off.
