Can't add © to rights tag

exiftool -d %Y "-rights<©$DateTimeOriginal, First Last. All Rights Reserved." -r DIR  results in  "?2021 First Last. All Rights Reserved."

So © = ? and I can't get it to work, with multiple workarounds attempted.

See FAQ #18.

Basically, Windows command line sucks when it comes to non-ascii characters.  You can try setting the code page as described in the FAQ, but I never was able to get that to work.

Adding the -L (latin) option will get a lot of characters to work, such as ©£™ and accented characters, but not if you're using Cyrillic or East Asian text.

Since you're on Windows 10, you can also try this this StackOverflow answer.  This is the only thing that has worked for me, but you may see some oddities elsewhere in other programs.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

-L worked for the copyright.  Thanks!
