That symbol is called a dagger. The way to have them speak is either to have
punctuation spoken as well as symbols, or just have symbols spoken. You might
have specific symbols spoken with some software as well.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] proper dealing with footnotes at the bottom of a
page
Quick question.
A book I am scanning has footnotes to the text that is on the same page.
The footnotes are designated by an asterisk and that little symbol that looks
like a cross, not sure what you call it.
The way this book did it was to have the first footnote designated with an
asterisk. And the 2nd with a cross symbol, whatever you call it.
As I am reading as I scan these pages, these symbols do not speak.
So I wish to get a routine way to deal with them.
Reading the section on the Proofreading Manual, it says to replace the
footnote symbols with a number in parentheses.

And to the footnotes below on the bottom of the page, to be housed inside an
open and closed bracket such as this. [footnote 1: and closed with a closed
bracket such as this.]
Is this all cool?
Or have things changed?
I figure it is way easier to just get this done right at the time of scanning.
So I'd like feedback on the above to reassure myself of what the consensus is.
Thank you much.
