> Therefore, getting to the actual question in the title, does anybody know of fonts (ideally OFL or similarly licensed) that cover these symbols in their proper locations? There’s [a font named CC Symbols by Daniel Aleksandersen that contains the glyphs for the six Creative Commons–specific characters at their proper locations](https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/creative-commons-unicode-fallback-font.html). It also contains a glyph for U+0229C CIRCLED EQUALS in order to help make sure that all of the CC-related symbols look consistent together. The CC Symbols font only contains glyphs for those seven characters, so you’ll have to pair it with at least one other font. The CC Symbols font is not available under the OFL or a similar license. Instead the author dedicated it to the public domain: > The symbols in the font a based on the Unicode Standard reference symbols. I waive all copyright to the font and release it into the 🅮 public domain. Additionally, that blog post contains example CSS for how you could use the CC Symbols font on a Web site. That example CSS is CC0’d: > Unless otherwise stated, source code printed in this article is licensed under a [CC0 1.0 License](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
