Seemingly simple question: What is the correct format for a notice in code?

I tried to find the answer online, found several resources, and they all seem to disagree. Two examples:

https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/copyright

https://matija.suklje.name/how-and-why-to-properly-write-copyright-statements-in-your-code

Q1: What is best? Copyright, ©, (c) or a combination of them?
Q2: Update the year or not?
Q3: Add contact information or not?
Q4: Reference License in Copyright line or not?

@osi @fsf can you help?
