Actually, after a few trials, I found how to make both the single dagger, †, and the double dagger, ‡.
You hold down the alt key and type 0134 on the numeric keypad for the single dagger. The double dagger is alt-0135.
However, I still think the asterisk should be used. I would bet quite a lot that our braille translator will not recognize the daggers. But if you want to use the daggers, there you are.

I have given up on finding a standard code for the dagger (and thanks for reminding me of that name), I just put in two asterisks or more if the author insists on using symbols instead of numbers for footnote labels).Misha Gary Petraccaro wrote:I've heard of the dagger, but never knew what that was. I'll use the two asterisks.

Don't know how you make it. You could use two asterisks, I suppose. I think that would be clear enough, and it would not flummox the braille translator the way the dagger probably will.
