The error message was giving a hint: "Bummer: Make sure you're setting the entity for the ampersand."

4,056 PointsThanks Steven. I was confused. I though I was just asked the entity for the copyright symbol. but the question also asked the entity for ampersand itself which is &
Thanks you both

8,305 PointsHi! What kind of errors are you getting? When I ran this code the copyright symbol was fine in the browser.
However I know the Ampersand symbol (&) is a reserved HTML entity, it's better written as & (and it's just showing up as &, but you can see it here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp)
