I just came across Template:dagger at Larry Monroe Forever Bridge. I was surprised to find that this template, unlike say Template:ndash or Template:asterisk for example, does not actually insert a dagger (†). Instead it inserts a picture of a dagger. This seems so wrong to me. The resulting text is not searchable or pastable, among other things. This has been discussed on the template talk page but nothing has been resolved.

Hi there. I not too long ago proposed the Engschrift article for deletion, but it was opposed by @Kvng, who instead suggested a merge. I was referred here by them since I had a question regarding redirecting once relevant information is moved to the applicable articles (DIN 1451, Austria (typeface) and Tern (typeface)): since it's not possible to redirect to multiple articles, what can / should be done? Thanks in advance. EthanL13 | talk 19:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had added this to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Typography/Unicode but this page seems more active:

I have been adding redirects from CJK Compatibility characters to appropriate articles or Wiktionary if I don't find one.

There is a discussion about it in Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_10#㌽ if you want to voice your opinion.
