Hey short question regarding the j-j dict on goo https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp
If there is more than one way to write the word with kanji they have these strange symbols near them.
Here is an example.
かつて【▽曽て／×嘗て】の解説
Does any one know what the ▽ and × and any others mean? Or where to find a legend for this notation on their website?
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Hopefully this helps:

As far as I know, ▽ is for a Kanji reading that isn’t in the Joyo-Kanji list, and × is for a Kanji that isn’t at all in the Joyo-Kanji list.
The comment after the one you quoted goes over the explanation that their monolingual dictionary gives on the matter, which is nice and clear as well:
