Dagger superscript in Latex

Question

I would like to attach a dagger symbol (\textdagger) as a superscript in front of a word (not in math). How can I do it?

You can use \textsuperscript.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello\textsuperscript{\textdagger} world.
\end{document}

Or (big thanks to barbara beeton!)

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello {}\textsuperscript{\textdagger}world.
\end{document}

@barbarabeeton Thanks! I did not read carefully... – Mar 01 '20 at 19:16
What's {} for? – egreg Mar 01 '20 at 20:29

@egreg Someone recommended "in doubt, use braces". ;-) The analogous syntax works in math mode, so is easier to remember. – Mar 01 '20 at 21:04
