I'm getting ready to contribute a change to the overview.

My problem is there are several footnotes that I have added, but one of the footnotes uses a symbol that I cannot find anywhere in any Character Map.

What should I do?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you can find the symbol on-line, try to cut and paste it into the overview and see if it sticks.  Otherwise, I suggest finding a symbol as close as possible to it (for example, using an * when a dot is not available).

The problem is I can't find the symbol anywhere.

The film is Margot at the Wedding  097363479741.

At the end of the overview,  funny" film.

Between the quote mark and film is the footnote symbol that I can't find.

It is not a cross. It looks like two short verticle lines, longer than quote marks.

I know, but it didn't show up right in the forum
Anyway, is it something like this?
Was hard to see it on the cover.

The parallel lines didn't look good, so I use a +.

I've seen a lot of people just using * to mark a footnote.  For subsequent footnotes, they add a * to make **

Though after three splats in a row, maybe switch to + for the footnote overload.
