By default, WP Tocify uses the # symbol to denote an anchored heading, both in the article itself and also in a TOC (Table of Contents). However, this symbol and other styles associated with the WP Tocify plugin can be customized further if you'd like.

Popular Anchor Symbols
We suggest making it easy for your readers to recognize an anchored location; i.e., use symbols commonly used for this purpose: ¶ § 🔗 #. These are UTF-8 symbols, so you can just copy/paste right from this article. Choose the symbol that you like best and paste it into your WP Tocify configuration.
Using a Custom Image Icon
Or, instead of using a UTF-8 symbol, you can use an image path.
Custom Styles (Optional CSS)
There are three CSS selectors worth noting. These allow you to apply custom styles.
.wp-tocify-heading {
color: blue;
}
.wp-tocify-anchor {
color: green;
}
.wp-tocify-toc:not(.-style-none) {
color: black;
}
Note: In this last example, :not(.-style-none) covers a scenario where the [toc style="none" /] Shortcode Attribute is set as a display option; i.e., do not apply styles when the [toc /] Shortcode has been explicitly configured to display an unstyled Table of Contents. Adding :not(.-style-none) makes your custom styles consistent with built-in WP Tocify functionality.
