Use Daggers and Special Marks Correctly

Use dagger (†) and double dagger (‡) for footnotes when asterisks are taken or numbering is impractical. Use hedera (❧) and manicule (☞) sparingly, as decoration only.

Incorrect (improvised footnote markers):

<p>This claim requires citation.*</p>
<p>*See appendix A. **See appendix B.</p>

Correct (proper footnote markers):

<p>This claim requires citation.&dagger;</p>
<p>Another point to note.&Dagger;</p>

<footer>
  <p>&dagger; See appendix A.</p>
  <p>&Dagger; See appendix B.</p>
</footer>

Footnote marker order: * † ‡ § ‖ ¶ (then double up: ** †† etc.)
