How would I use writeln to print a copyright symbol to the

You need to be using a system that supports the output.
On Windows, it means changing the console mode to utf-8 so it
understands the bytes when it sees them.
import core.sys.windows.windows;
SetConsoleOutputCP(65001); // UTF-8
before you do some writeln and it should work on windows 10. On
older systems, you might have to go into console properties and
select a truetype font too.
(or as the user btw you can go into console properties and change
the code page there, but I think it is slightly easier to do it
on code)
