This whole thread is stupid: the complaint about UTF-8 chars is
stupid, and the "copyright notice" is stupid.
A simple mention in the readme like: "This code is released to the
public domain and under the MIT and ISC licenses, pick whichever
option suits you." should be enough, or if you feel real

To attempt to bring it back on topic, here are my thoughts:
Any software that can't handle utf-8 should be replaced with software that
sucks less.

Dwm, surf, and probably more suckless projects contain the copyright
symbol as UTF-8 character. In most cases, if not always, it is the only
non-ASCII character in those files.
I suggest to replace it with ``Copyright'' or ``Copyright (c)''.
(``(c)'' alone is not enough from the lawyer POV, AFAIK.
