Double Dagger Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Double Dagger is 0135. Hold Alt, type 0135 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Double Dagger also has the Unicode codepoint U+2021, so you can type it with Alt+8225 on Windows, search for U+2021 in macOS's Character Viewer, use ‡ in HTML, or \2021 in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad.

HTML also defines the named entity ‡ for Double Dagger, but the numeric form ‡ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
