<p>I have come across with two symbols (that is † and ⁜ in wiktionary) but I don’t know what they mean.
Here is the link: <a href="https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%AD%90" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/子</a>
Note:
someone has commented that if I can access the computer web browser I can get the usage of them. Unfortunately, I don’t have a computer so I updated the topic and deleted the previous one.</p>

I’m voting to close this question because this is about the symbol usage of a specific site, but not about the Chinese language.

See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zh-no-solo/documentation. The two symbols seem to mean the same for Chinese on Wiktionary.
