Phonographic copyright symbol (P in circle)

[MIA5C49]

Hi, can anyone help with getting the phonographic copyright symbol in photoshop? Anything I try results in a box with an X in it?

try holding down the Alt key and on the numeric key pad type 0169 like this ©

Phonographic copyright is not a c but a p. I have that same question, getting the regular copyright C is easy, but getting the p is a nightmare in illustrator, as we always get the box. This is what we need ---->>>> Ⓟ

[Leslie Moak Murray]

One way is the Ellipse tool. Make a circle in black:

Duplicate the layer and make it white:

Make the white one smaller. Now, both are vectorized and scalable. Add the P of your choice, and the type layer is also scalable.

Thank you, but these instructions are missing on how to make the white circle smaller sorry to complain.   I used to know how to do this until something in Photoshop changed, and that is frustrating.   Using the free transform tool, I think,  I would have made the white one smaller.   But an update at some point has the shape locked to always preserve the ratios, i think?  

Obtaining a P in a circle symbol should not be this frustrating.

Can you provide more details on what are steps and methods you use? Have ou read this article https://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/layouts/

Hi MIA5C49!

There is a full character map in windows you can use to select and then paste it as text into other programs. You can search for it in windows.

[A.j.22520063hgv8]

Thank you for this reply, but the last time I checked, the full character map that you are suggesting to us,  it does not contain a P in a circle.   The question:  How do you get a P in a circle,  not a C in a circle.    Please note that P and C are different letters, hence,  there is a difference!!   Good grief, and lol.    It is really frustrating when we ask a question correctly but receive incorret answers!  I didnt' even think that was possible.  🙂

@A.j.22520063hgv8 per the UK copyright office select "web dings" dropdown in the character map:

The font wingdings 1 2 & 3 are available in photoshop and it would be great to find this symbol there,  but none of the wingdings fonts contain the P inside of a circle.   Thanks for this suggestion, too.   Sad hugs.

Circle C is a standard glyph in most fonts. Its looking like circle P is not, so it must be custom drawn. But this is Photoshop, you can create almost anything involving pixels.

To create a circle, you can create a path, shape, or pixels with the ellipse tool. Then type a P inside. Scaling can be done with the standard Transform commands.

[A.j.22520063hgv8]

Yes, i believe the standard transform commands have been reshifted or changed since photoshop became a subscription service.  I have no idea how to make the second white circle smaller than the black one.  So now, i have to hunt down a tutorial on Tranform Commands in Photoshop when  I've already spent about an hour of time  today just on this circle P omission.    Just venting it is not your fault of course, hugs to all for sure,  lol.

@A.j.22520063hgv8 see my lastest reply its there in Arial symbols on a Mac.

[A.j.22520063hgv8]

I have never been able to create a P inside of a circle using Photoshop.   P, not C.    Years later, I still need a P inside of a circle,  and this time it will appear onscreen, so i can only use text, I cannot utilize a jpg of this symbol.    

I am not asking about a C inside of a circle.  There is a difference, and people everywhere give me an answer for how to create a C inside of a circle.  P and C are different letters.  They are completely different symbols.  

P in a circle is not available via text inside photoshop, i don't think?  But that is my question.  Is it??  Last time i checked,  P in a circle does not appear in the gigantic grid of symbols that photoshop offers automatically.  

To reiterate: 

What I am asking for is instructions on how to create a P in a circle symbol  to appear onscreen as a transparent PNG, therefore, i must create it in photoshop using TEXT ONLY.   I have to save it as a transparent png so that you will see thru the picture onscreeen thru the P in a circle symbol.   C in a circle instructions will not help, it is a different symbol, therefore,  please do not suggest any links or any resources that are not explicitly for creating a P in a circle.   Thank you very much!

@A.j.22520063hgv8 Did you attempt to use the solution I offered above before dual posting?

I've confirmed on my PC it is there - Unicode Subrange>Letterlike Symbols

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

And it works in Photoshop:

[A.j.22520063hgv8]

Hi Kevin, yes!  Thank you for that suggestion, I did come across everyone's suggestions here and on the internet, but none of them worked for me.   I am using Photoshop 2024 on a macintosh, not windows.   Maybe that's the problem?   The Glyph Panel and the other grid that you're referring to do not contain a P in a circle.    They contain a C in a circle and an R in a circle, but again,  P in a circle is a different symbol., unfortunately.   I can see the pic you've attached, and clearly you can access a P in a circle, but I've been dealing with this issue for years and it is really dumb, to be honest,  lol.  There's got to be something I don't know, perhaps?     But i appreciate your answers of course, thank you!! 

[Kevin Stohlmeyer · Accepted solution]

@A.j.22520063hgv8 the catch is its not widely available so only certain fonts show it. On the Mac in the PS Glyphs panel, use Arial and switch to symbols.

[A.j.22520063hgv8]

This is the correct answer, i wish i could tell the customer service reps who chat here at adoble all about this.  They don't know.     Incredible work, Kevin.  Thanks.  Now,    I have my P in a circle!!  I have my P in a circle!!   At last!     *happy dance*   

Thank you Kevin!!

@Kevin Stohlmeyer  Arial. That's it! Thanks!

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@gener7 @A.j.22520063hgv8 interesting note - Myriad (Pro) has been the default font for years with Adobe products. It does not include ℗ even though its available in the Mac keyboard viewer. It will come up as the "missing font" icon.

To get it into a transparent png or gif use the symbol for R in a circle.
Maks the layer with the letter and chop off the bottom right extremity of the R.
Save as (P)
