I like the idea of this, but is there any chance of using a higher quality image (same goes for ‡)? Regards, — W F C— 00:05, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
If anybody wants to try to make a better quality image, both the vector and 200-px png versions of each are on Commons. -- RexxS ( talk) 02:27, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand the point of this template. For one thing, "†" is not keyword searchable because it's a PNG image. Is there some reason to prefer {{ dagger}} over just typing †? Second, I suggest adding <sup> and </sup> to the template, since footnote/endnote symbols are usually raised. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ gala xies 00:14, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Daggers are used within article text, and having an image instead of the actual dagger text symbol isn't a good idea—it is likely to mess up alternative displays, interfere with copy-pasting, and lots of other stuff. The impulse to improve accessibility was good, but we should find another way. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 23:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates#Images in templates regarding how to handle templates that were created to insert images of typographic characters. These characters are now available via Unicode. Please comment there if interested, Rjjiii ( talk) 16:09, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Change to the sandbox version. As of 2023, there are no longer issues with major screen readers saying these symbols. There is minimal difference between using the character alone and the character with abbr tags. The tooltip provided by abbr could encourage editors to misplace notes within the character.
