I'm using ExifTool 8.31 executable on XP and the following command:

  exiftool.exe -exif:all= -tagsfromfile @ -copyright="©2010" -copyrightNotice="©2010" *.JPG

results with, "Warning: Malformed UTF-8 character(s)".

The EXIF copyright tagging works, while IPTC copyright notice is null (caused by "©").  I can add "©" to copyright notice using other editors.

Thanks

It looks like you're using Windows, so you should probably use the -L option when entering special characters from the command line.  See FAQ number 10 for all of the gory details.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
