minus-squareMustakrakish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·23 days agoThats kinda shitty its a cross. Like holding one religion above the others on a fucking encyclopedia.
minus-squarekadu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·22 days agoIt is not a Christian cross, the symbol is the dagger † which is also often used for adding post-scriptum information or challenging parts of a text. People often mistake it for a cross, given the look, but there’s no actual preference towards any religion here. The cross is an entirely different unicode character: ✝
minus-squareMustakrakish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·22 days agoHuh TIL. I searched just to confirm and its listed even on wikipedia itself. Thanks for claifying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagger_(mark)
