| <para>If <parameter>table.footnote.number.symbols</parameter> is not the empty string, |
| table footnotes will use the characters it contains as footnote symbols. For example, |
| <quote>*&#x2020;&#x2021;&#x25CA;&#x2720;</quote> will identify |
| footnotes with <quote>*</quote>, <quote>†</quote>, <quote>‡</quote>, |
| <quote>◊</quote>, and <quote>✠</quote>. If there are more footnotes |
| than symbols, the stylesheets will fall back to numbered footnotes using |
| <parameter>table.footnote.number.format</parameter>.</para> |
| |
| <para>The use of symbols for footnotes depends on the ability of your |
| processor (or browser) to render the symbols you select. Not all systems are |
| capable of displaying the full range of Unicode characters. If the quoted characters |
| in the preceding paragraph are not displayed properly, that's a good indicator |
| that you may have trouble using those symbols for footnotes.</para> |
