[edit] Self-reflexive?

We sort of have a self-reflexive definition here in the lede: "The copyright symbol... is [a] symbol..." Any good suggestions to replace that second "symbol"? --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it's fine. There are many symbols, and this is one of them. I think we can expect the reader to know what a symbol is. For the occasional reader who does not, I just added a wikilink to symbol. I think that's sufficient. Trying to avoid use of the word "symbol" will just reduce clarity, I think.
