[edit] Origin of symbol

For anyone curious, it's a dagger, which is commonly used to indicate deaths in military texts. Kirill Lokshin 21:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate symbol

Since apparently the cross-like shape was being complained about in certain contexts, I've added an alternate symbol (☠) that can be selected by passing in |alt=yes to the template. This should be used sparingly, for obvious reasons. Kirill Lokshin 14:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
