I've been told by at least two lawyers that the string '(c)' has no
legal meaning in the US. If you want to indicate copyright, the only
symbol which does carry legal weight is the c-in-a-circle mark '©'. 

Of course, this does force the issue of what encoding to present source
files in. I suggest that sources should be UTF-8, which also provides
opportunities to encode author names correctly, rather than
transliterating them to Latin. X.org uses UTF-8 for source files now
without difficulty across a wide range of compilers. Of course,
non-ascii glyphs are present only in comments.
