Hat tip
Colby Cosh wants a standard symbol for hat tipping links.
Is there an existing body of theory on this issue? What I'd like is if we could borrow one of the less-used HTML characters to stand in for "Hat tip", but I never know what characters will be recognized by everybody's browsers. Is the dagger closely enough associated in people's minds with the concept of a footnote to work, without explanation, as a non-ostentatious "hat tip" symbol?

If so, the tilde dosen't get much use, it's universally recognized, and has a certain I don't know what. ~
