What is your preference for asterisk* dagger† and double dagger‡ when used as reference marks?
Should †‡ be sized as superscripts? Or should they be cap-height, ish? In some German typesetting birth/death dates are set:
(*1516, †1592)
and the expectation is full-height †.
And how common is this sequence for non-superior numeral footnotes?
