When to use it

A footnote marker after the asterisk, or a sign that someone has died.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&dagger;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\2020"; }

const s = "\u2020";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type dagger

  • Windows: hold Alt and type 0134 on the numeric keypad.
