:Why are there so many possible examples for the SAME copyright
:symbol?

AFAIK, there is only 2 possibles for the copyright symbol. The
ISO-Latin-1 Set character of &copy; and the numeric code of &#169;

:How does one know which to use?

I have read somewhere (not able to give confirmed documentation) that it
is best to use the numeric codes, taking into consideration of those
that are viewing via *foreign/international monitors* (other than
english viewers -- I know I didn't explain this right).

Can anyone provide documentation for this *theory* of mine?
