U+2E38 "⸸" Turned Dagger Unicode Character

U+2E38 "⸸" Turned Dagger is a typographic symbol classified within the Supplemental Punctuation block, representing a dagger or obelus rotated 180 degrees from its standard orientation. Historically, the standard dagger symbol was used in textual annotations to mark a footnote or a death date, and the turned variant serves a similar editorial or critical purpose, often indicating a secondary reference or a subtle distinction in scholarly or liturgical texts. Its design features a vertical line with a horizontal crossbar near the top, and when inverted, it appears as a cross-like shape with the crossbar near the bottom, aligning with its use in specialized notation systems like those for indicating a cross-reference or a marginal note.
