If you're using a font which contains the symbol, and if you're using
MkIV, you can just enter © directly as a UTF-8 character in the input
file and it should Just Work. (© may be in your keyboard layout, or
you may need to use some kind of character chooser utility. On the
US-international layout of an Ubuntu Linux system, I get it with
[Right Alt]-c.)

For anything you can't get as a unicode character in your main font,
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols is probably a good place to
start.
