About the double dagger symbol

The double dagger, also known as the diesis, is a typographic mark used as a reference symbol, typically following the asterisk and dagger in a sequence of footnotes. It is commonly found in academic writing, scholarly texts, and annotated editions to direct readers to marginal notes or endnotes.

Beyond footnoting, the double dagger appears in linguistics to denote a reconstructed or hypothetical form, and in some older or specialized texts, it marks a secondary or supplementary note. It is also used occasionally in genealogical charts or other structured lists to indicate a specific type of entry or a cross-reference.
