Hi Vivian, Yes, I do enclose both in square bbrackets. Last I knew, the scanning and proofreading manual advised parentheses, but those can be confused with listed items, so I opted to change that practise to using brackets.

Footnotes are * asterisks, and endnotes are numbered and superscipted. Do I treat them both the same? Enclosing them in square brackets either with an asterisk or number?
