ptucci Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'm working on album cover art for a demo disc. One of the requirements is for "C circled" and "P circled" symbols. I have no problem finding the ©, but none of my many fonts has a (p). I do have an ®, however. Does anyone know of an online source (or any other professional-looking) way to get (p)?

cooper8168 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I always just create them in Photoshop and resize as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_macdonald Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Pete.... If you're using a PC use Alt 0169 for the "circle c", and Alt 0174 for the "circle r". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen hazelton Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Pardon my ignorance, but what does the circled P mean? And no, I didn't see it on my fonts either. I could make one in Paint or AutoCAD easily enough, don't suppose that helps. Just have to take the slanty line off the R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbq Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 circled P is for sound recordings - it indicates the copyright on the recording, as opposed to the copyright on the music itself. If I record my version of e.g. a Metallica song, the (P) is mine but the © is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_schultz2 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 More details on this are available at: http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/expertcharacters/f/circled_p.htm The "P" was originally meant to stand for "Produced" or, as some believe, "Performance".

ransomsix Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 The circle P symbol is one that's typically only built into really well designed typefaces designed with an entire characterbase. Your everyday "font disk" typically isn't going to include it. Circle P is used so rarely in a general sense that many people don't know it exists. Some of the faces from high end type houses like Emigre, etc. special characters like this included. For instance Emigre produces a face called "Mrs. Eaves" that has a subset called "Fractions" which contains a lot of special symbols and ligatures. The circle P symbol is located in that subset using the command Shift-P. A quickly built typeface designed for setting headlines, by an average Joe typically won't contain special characters like this. Basically, the simple solution is to create one graphically as suggested in whatever software you're using. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike sisk Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I don't know if this helps, but on the Mac these font collections include the sound recording copyright symbol: Apple Symbols, Lucida Grande, Lucida Grande Bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia_nielsen Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 In Windows XP/Word, I found the (p) in Luncida Sans Unicode. Go to Insert>Symbol. In the Font menu, choose "Lucida Sans Unicode." In the Subset menu, choose "Letterlike Symbols." The ℗ is in the 3rd row. Insert it into your Word document and wah-lah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_cotton Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 <p>Hi all.<br> In case anyone wants more flexibility, I created a dedicated circle-p copyright symbol font for mac and PC containing the symbol in a variety of styles designed to match 26 common typefaces. <br> It's $5 buy-Jon-a-drink-ware from http://www.artisan.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/studio/pfont.html <br> Thanks - Jon</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
