Have you tried (code-char #xA9) and (code-char #xAE)?

As WinAnsiEncoding mentions "copyright" and "registered", you can get them
printed with standard fonts, e.g.

(defun test (&optional (file (current-pathname "test.pdf")))
  (pdf:with-document ()
    (pdf:with-page ()
     (let ((font (pdf:get-font "Helvetica" :win-ansi-encoding)))
         (pdf:draw-text "cl-pdf:  In Helvetica")
         (pdf:set-text-leading 12)
         (pdf:show-text-on-next-line ".>-- ?«°­±??»#\©®")))
    (pdf:write-document file)))
