| An obelus (symbol: ÷ or , plural: obeluses or obeli) is a symbol consisting of a short horizontal line with a dot above and another dot below, and in other uses it is a symbol resembling a small dagger. In mathematics it is mainly used to represent the mathematical operation of division. It is therefore commonly called the division sign. In editing texts an obelus takes the form of a dagger mark () and is used as a reference mark, or to indicate that a person is dead, and often used to indicate a footnote.The word "obelus" comes from , the Ancient Greek word for a sharpened stick, spit, or pointed pillar.
