If you want to add special characters like these as entities you'll
need to give the hex, numerical or unicode notation for that character
e.g.:
<!DOCTYPE example [
<!ENTITY copy "©">
]>
(copied without shame from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML)
You can also check http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html and
http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879doc/isolat1.html for some more
reference material.
