Hi there. You don’t need code to insert a copyright notice into posts. Just type the appropriate information at the bottom of each post and update the post. You can use the Insert Symbol icon in the post editor to insert the copyright-symbol.
You will have to do this post-by-post, though. There’s no way to add content to all your posts at once.
Also, for what it’s worth, you don’t actually need a copyright notice on each post. Under international copyright law the post is protected by copyright the moment you publish it. Adding a notice is more for one’s own peace of mind and to make sure readers can’t say they didn’t know, but it’s not a legal requirement to have one’s work protected. Adding one in a text widget in your sidebar should be equally effective in that regard (and I see you’ve already done that.)
To add a copyright notice to your site footer (where it says WordPress.com and the theme’s name), you’ll need to use CSS and you’ll need the Custom Design upgrade for that.
You can post your question in the CSS customisation forum for info on what code will be needed to make this change: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform
See here for more info on the custom design upgrade:

Dear kokkieh,
Thank you for the information. Yes I’ve added it in the sidebar as you’ve noticed.
