Double Dagger Symbol

Summary

The double dagger (‡), also called a diesis or double obelisk, is a footnote and reference mark used after the asterisk (*) and single dagger (†) when a third note appears on the same page. This tool shows the symbol at large size for a quick one-click copy, alongside its Unicode code point, HTML/CSS entity codes, and the keyboard shortcut for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

How it works

1. The double dagger (‡) is shown at large size in the preview panel.
2. Click "Copy Symbol" to copy ‡ to your clipboard.
3. Click any code row (Unicode, HTML entity, CSS, or JavaScript escape) to copy that specific value.
4. Switch the OS tab to see the matching keyboard shortcut for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Use cases

• Mark a third footnote on a page after the asterisk and single dagger are already used.
• Cite a source or add an editorial note in academic and legal writing.
• Copy the HTML entity for use in web page markup.
• Look up the Alt code or keyboard shortcut for typing ‡ directly.
• Grab the CSS content value for a pseudo-element icon.
• Reference the Unicode code point for a font or design tool.
