(C) is the most common approximation for a normalized sign, which is a small c 
enclosed in a circle : ©

We have Unicode, so we don't need an approximation, we can use the correct 
sign. Its UCS-2 code is 0x00A9, and its UTF-8 code is 0xC2A9. This character 
has a latin-1 equivalent which is 0xA9. There are characters entities for it 
in docbook, HTML and perharps in QML as well.
