The message now reads Copyright © 2022-2023 radj307, which will be the final copyright notice string.
The property being named "Copyright" does not guarantee that its contents are actually a copyright notice; some applications put the license name, copyleft notice, etc. there instead. This can be interpreted as ambiguity.
Putting both "Copyright" and "©" makes it impossible to misinterpret one or the other, and brings it in line with my other projects & the recommended format in Canada (where I live) & the USA.
Overall, the point of a copyright notice is not to look nice, it's to state that a copyright exists in the least ambiguous, most universally-understandable way possible.

Actual Behaviour
Currently yuou changed the copyright string in
AppCopyright=Copyright © {#CurrentYear} {#AppPublisher}
"copyrighT" and "©" are synonims: Copyright is already the field name of this descrition then the fulls string fieldname+description is
Copyright: Copyright © {#CurrentYear} {#AppPublisher}
Three times the copyright terms.
My idea is that the copyright message should be like before
AppCopyright=© {#StartYearCopyright}-{#CurrentYear} {#AppPublisher}
Thanks.
