Hi Tony,

I think you want to display a copyright symbol in a plot?  
I’ve done it like this:

```auto
 graph.update_layout(annotations=[
                             go.layout.Annotation(
                                 x=0.9,
                                 y=-0.2,
                                 showarrow=False,
                                 text=u"\u00A9"+"text",
                                 xref="paper",
                                 yref="paper"
                             )
                         ])

```

My only problem ist, that this delets the annotations of my facet, made with px.scatter.

Try `fig.add_annotation`, documented [Text and annotations in Python](https://plotly.com/python/text-and-annotations/)

For special characters, I usually just find the character online by googling “copyright UTF8” and then copy and paste it into the code editor. You may need the UTF declaration at the top of your code:

```auto
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

```
