What happens if you turn off ligatures within that style? I just tested it, and that is definitely the behavior of the ligature (conjoined characters) switch. Ligatures ON makes the copyright symbol; off returns it to the three characters (c).

Look at your InDesign Autocorrect preferences, something could be set there to make it change.

This is definitely a custom auto correct issue.
Easy solution for this is select that part of the text and assign it a new dictionary. Ie if its English: USA try pointing it to English: UK just for (c).
This should work because custom auto corrects are only based on the dictionary its created for.

Also forgot to add. All of this could be avoided with using Bullets and numbering.

I can't select the text as it is a list in bullets and numbering.
Do you think it is to so with the font?

Hi @Summayah5FC7:
Actually, I'm not so sure it in in the InDesign Preferences > Autocorrect table. You can't add parentheses to the table in InDesign.
Are you on a Mac? Check Apple menu > System Prefs > Keyboard > Text. Is it in that list?
Windows 10 has a similar feature, see https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/enable-autocorrect-everywhere-windows/#:~:text=To%20enable%20it%2C%20o....
And when you have some time, check out this post, which explains how to create automatic nested lists, which will both address this issue and give you hours back in your day-to-day work: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-basic-nested-lists/.

Thank you for your reply.
I am on a mac but it isn't in the list.
I am using nested lists. All level 1, 2 and 3 lists have the same indentation as it is intentional.
